Tasting Notes
The 2015 Chambolle-Musigny 1er Cru Les Amoureuses, which contains 60% whole bunch, is blessed with an entrancing bouquet endowed with more darker berries than red; there are hints of sous-bois, truffle, cold limestone and wilted violets. The palate bowls you over, subtle at first à la Mugnier and then there is a wave of blackberry, bilberry and pomegranate fruit infused with wondrous mineralité and a killer, precise finish that is nigh perfection. Without question this is the finest Les Amoureuses in 2015 and it will give the lucky few three or four decades of drinking pleasure. Please invite me if you are even opening a bottle.

(from a .40 ha parcel). This is even more floral in character with its supremely elegant nose that combines notes of red currant, exotic tea, anise and sandalwood. There is brilliant delineation to the cool, pure and focused middle weight flavors that are shaped by sleek tannins that shape the harmonious, extremely persistent and Zen-like finale. This is so positively spherical that despite the presence of a very firm tannic spine, the palate impression is seamless. If you can find it, don’t miss it! Dec 2016, www.burghound.com
