Domaine Comte Georges de Vogüé Chambolle-Musigny 2016

Dense raspberry and cherry fruit carries an over-ripe, jammy character that feels uncharacteristic for this address. The palate shows good weight but lacks the seamless flow de Vogüé typically delivers. Dry tannins and tart acidity create an angular structure that never quite resolves. The decision to skip new oak entirely may have stripped away needed richness in this frost-affected vintage.
