The 2009 Chambolle-Musigny is a dark, juicy wine graced with generous dark red fruit. This is a fairly intense style of Chambolle. The weight of the fruit builds towards the round, enveloping finish. This has 30% 1er Cru fruit from Les Baudes and Les Argilliers. The Chambolle was made with 50% whole clusters and was aged in 40% new oak. Anticipated maturity: 2017-2029. Biodynamic farming and non-interventionalist winemaking are at the heart of the approach at Domaine de la Vougeraie. The 2009s saw roughly a 25 days of maceration (including a week of cold soak) with one punch down a day. Once in barrel racking was kept to a bare minimum. A number of wines were bottled in late 2010 and early 2011. I tasted these wines with winemaker Pierre Vincent in March 2011. Importer: Boisset Family Estates, St. Helena, CA; tel. (800) 878-1123
