The 2000 Chambolle-Musigny 1er Cru offers cedar-laced black cherry aromas. Big, plush, and seductive, it is medium-bodied, concentrated, and opulent. Loads of blackberries, violets, and dark cherries are found throughout its personality as well as in its long, supple finish. Drink it by 2009. The 2000 vintage is yet another success story at Domaine du Comte Georges de Vogue. After having performed an evasivage (the removal of excess buds after flowering), the Vogue team still believed they had too much fruit on the vines and dropped half of the bunches prior to veraison as they did in 2001. In the end, they harvested a moderate 30 hectoliters per hectares in a vintage where their neighbors set records. According to Millet, the fact that the yields were kept under control also served to ensure a “very healthy” harvest.
