  May 19, 2023 - 13x Pinot Greatness: Tasted double blind. Unfortunately, this big name didn’t perform today. I wouldn’t write it off completely yet and maybe it just needs more time or the bottle wasn’t completely correct. 90/91pts.
  
  TN: Medium expressive, slightly lactic nose. On the palate dark red berries, some spices, a bit harsh and disjointed for a Pinot. On the palate it gets better and better with more air and with wonderful, sweet strawberries and rhubarb notes showing that there is more to the wine than it shows today. Loads of high quality, fine tannins, high freshness and airy texture. Balance is a bit off on the palate too.

  April 30, 2023 - During a Pinot blind tasting dinner. This was very earthy and rustic, hard work, not very popular at the table. I am an open critic of the Vogue wines and have mentioned numerous times that this is probably the most overrated producer in Burgundy. They own many great sites but their wine making is rustic and clumsy. I also know a high end Burg merchant who was offered to represent this Producer but declined even though they could have made good money but they didn't want to destroy their reputation as a reliable house. I hear that there has been a change in wine maker recently, so let's hope we see better days ahead. Every time I drink Vogue I wished that their Vineyards would be owned by Leroy, Roumier, Mugnier, etc.

  May 16, 2021 - bottle aeration for 4 hours and then into decanter for half hour, still quite closed with medium- body and very reserved aroma. after 1-2 hours in the glass, it shows spice, wild flavor like earth, animal, leather and purple fruit aroma. compare to other 13 that day, it has great tanning and acidity. It is dense and powerful with impressive concentration. Medium finish. This bottle for sure need more time.

  March 24, 2016 - Masterclass with Domaine Vogüé (Jean-Luc Pepin) and Bonneau du Martray (Jean-Charles le Bault de la Morimiere) (1243 Bourgogne Society - Beaune): Black cherry on nose and palate. Meaty and powerful with spice and dried herbs. Burly for now, seemingly with the most tannins of the lineup. Very good concentration.

  March 5, 2016 - 2013 Comte de Vogüé Masterclass Tasting at La Paulée (The Fairmont, San Francisco): Deeper ruby. Deeply pitched nose that gives the sense of meatiness and the ever present soil. Fascinating array of menthol, florality, ripe red and blue fruit, and significant spice. More somber than the others. Medium bodied but more generous, mouth coating, and sappy than any of the others. More blue/red fruit and chewiness here but still great focus. Crisp acidity that is not quite as strident, round tannins, and a rising soil filled finale. This is deceptively approachable now for its relative roundness compared to the rest of the range, but there is plenty of acidity and tannin lurking underneath to carry this for decades. Wonderful wine and such an interesting contrast to the 3 Chambolle-based bottlings.
