justerini & brooks tasting note

Aromatic, floral, pure and inviting. This has the most glorious palate feel, tender near invisible tannins weave their way across the palate, with a refreshing, salty energy at its core. Wild red fruits seamlessly melt into a mineral freshness. You can tell there’s depth here but it refuses to feel heavy. Wonderful. A majestic vineyard in majestic hands. Aged in a maximum of 40% new oak and fermented with 100% whole bunches. The vines range from 30 to 80 years old.

critic reviews

92-94/100Neal Martin,Vinous

The 2021 Chambolle-Musigny Les Amoureuses 1er Cru is matured with 40% whole clusters in 100% new oak. Again, the stems have a strong sway over the nascent aromatics, but there is sufficient fruit underneath to absorb that with age. Fine delineation. The palate is medium-bodied with fine detail, taut and fresh, and quite saline. Not an intense Les Amoureuses but I find some similarities to Christophe Roumier's that I tasted just an hour earlier.
