Chambolle Musigny, Les Amoureuses, 1er Cru, 2016
Long, vibrant, totally electric. Fabulous focus and well-harnessed muscle. Translucent red berry and intense, crackling, mineral flavours. Concentrated red fruits with a knife-edge tension. High octane and high definition. Very Musigny-like in its focused power and expansive, lengthy finish. Aged in 15% new oak, and fermented with on average 50% whole bunches. The vines range from 30 to 80 years old.
critic reviews
The 2016 Chambolle-Musigny Les Amoureuses 1er Cru has a tightly wound bouquet with red cherries, raspberry and touches of crushed strawberry. The wine comes across as well defined if just missing some joie-de-vivre that thankfully evolves with time. Conservative for an Amoureuses, but that is a virtue because there is a beguiling effortlessness here. And that translates across to the palate: very well judged acidity, structured and with disarming purity and elegance on the sensual finish. Complete. Stunning. Tasted blind at the 2016 Burgfest tasting.
