Tasting Notes
The 2015 Chambolle-Musigny 1er Cru Les Amoureuses delivers on the promise that comes with such a propitious vineyard. That said, initially it has a very broody bouquet that demands coaxing from the glass. Eventually it offers up bilberry and briary scents, fine mineralite and further on, sensual floral scents that leave you feeling a bit giddy. The palate is medium-bodied with supple tannin and a very fine line of acidity. This is pure and sensual with blackberry and even a touch of seaweed on the finish. This is an enigmatic Chamboole-Musigny, surfeit with complexity and intrigue. I am sure it will end up at the top of my banded score. Dec 2016, www.robertparker.com
