Chambolle Musigny, Les Amoureuses, 1er Cru, 2015
Lush, deep and pronounced with exotic yet delicate red and black fruit. A suave, silky, glycerol palate texture with masses of concentration and fine, velvet tannins. A big step-up from the other 1er Cru Chambolles. A gentle sweetness of fruit and fragrancy lends the wine both poise and intrigue. One of those rare wines that manages power with a deft touch.
critic reviews
The 2015 Chambolle Musigny 1er Cru Amoureuses, which contains 20-25% whole bunch fruit, has a surprisingly understated bouquet when considering both the precocity of the vintage and the esteemed vineyard in question. It gently unfurls with red cherries, strawberry preserve, crushed rose petals and wet stone. This is very classy and dare I say, I might mistake it for say one of Christophe Roumier's wines. The palate is very refined with crisp acidity, shimmering red cherry and strawberry fruit, superb mineralite and great tension on the finish. Do not underestimate this Amoureuses, because I suspect it will have a long and prosperous future.
