Tasting notes
The 2007 Chambolle Musigny 1er Cru les Amoureuses from Comte de Vogüé has an intense, upfront and quite bold bouquet of cranberry jus, pomegranate and undergrowth, quite showy in de Vogue's style during this decade. The palate is well balanced and perhaps not the most complex Les Amoureuses that I have encountered, yet there is good structure and plenty of sappy black fruit words the finish. Give this another 3-4 years in bottle. Tasted February 2016.

Good bright medium red. Musky red fruits and blood orange on the nose. Denser than the village wine, but with its volume leavened by terrific sappy cut. There's a silkiness here but also a citrus zest edge to the red fruit flavors. Comes across as sweeter and more approachable today than the village wine, and longer and more pliant on the aftertaste.
Very bright fruit with an animal hint on the nose. Very round and assertive. Lots of juice and fruit with no shortage of acidity. Still very embryonic. Fine tannins. Very bright and tight with a mineral finish. Certainly not seductive at this stage. Needs lots and lots of time. Very chewy finish but the tannins are precise rather than overly dry or drying. Bright, electric. (JR)
