The 1992 vintage for Comte Georges de Vogüé Chambolle Musigny 1er Cru, while sometimes considered one of the weaker vintages of the 1990s for the Les Amoureuses bottling, has shown surprising elegance and charm in red Burgundy. The vintage in Burgundy generally saw beneficial light rains in late August, leading to ripe grapes and wines with power, opulence, ripe fruit, and aromas of honey and toast, offering a rare harmony and silky texture. This particular wine, often referred to as a "Baby Musigny" due to being crafted from younger Musigny Grand Cru vines (10-25 years old) that are declassified, provides a glimpse of the esteemed Grand Cru terroir. Tasting notes for the 1992 de Vogüé Chambolle-Musigny 1er Cru Les Amoureuses describe a very savoury and intense nose with high-toned herby notes, a touch of undergrowth, and freshness.
