  August 13, 2023 - This bottle continued its frustrating variability by being pretty mellow and unexciting in this showing.
  
  Other bottles can be outstanding.

  August 2, 2020 - Hugely expressive savory nose, camp fire, grilled meats and brown sugar; deep underlying fruit, ripe, almost pruney. Then evolves to a sweet dark cherry, allspice and beetroot; very deep and rich, very Chambolle. This was my 5th or 6th experience with Vogue Musigny and must say this was the first to really impress me. 96+

  August 2, 2020 - The sirens of Burgundy are calling!! This is very effusive; tons of umami richness, soy sauce, brown sugar, chilli/Indian spice, cooked root vegetables that introduce very supple, autumnal flavors of beef stock, salty minerals, the finest tannins one could ever imagine and a peppery spice-laden finish. Unlike the handful of de Vogue wines tasted, this shows the quintessential sous bois aromas and flavors one would expect for a developing red Burgundy. There is a beautiful whiff of coffee/latte cream that adds to the sweetness here and really works well as a counterpoint to the more savory flavors. Beautiful Musigny and beautiful treat. Thanks, Joe.

  December 10, 2019 - Tasted blind, this wine had a very deep red center and tan rims. The medium+ intensity nose exhibited black cherries, tan spices, plums, and minerals.
  
  In the mouth, this wine was rich and ripe with light rounded tannin, excellent acidity, and good length.
  
  This wine was very good. It was sweet and attractive. However, I believe I have had even better bottles. It is a bit variable but almost always pretty darn good.

  November 9, 2019 - Unicorn juice. Totally transparent essence of Chambolle Musigny at the highest level. We have all been disappointed by Vogue numerous times... except when Vogue produces a reference standard wine. Like this. Gorgeous, floral, sweet and earthy simultaneously. It glides across the palate so beautifully, words fail.
