The de Vogue 2006 Chambolle-Musigny - incorporating some of the young vines of Musigny plus non-cru parcels - smells alluringly of jellied red fruits, brown spices, candied citrus zest, white truffle, and iris. Sweetly-fruited and polished in texture, its bitter-sweet sense of herbal concentrate as well as it reserve of primary fresh fruit juiciness combine for a finish of refreshment, buoyancy, and invigoration that is - in a paradoxical but vintage-typical way - also caressing. "You feel very comfortable with it," says Millet trenchantly of this wine and the vintage as a whole. Both floral and subtly marrowy meaty elements persist here as well. This should be a delight over the next half dozen years.' - David Schildknecht, Wine Advocate (RobertParker.com), 91/100 (2009)
