Tasting notes
A perfectly glorious bottle enjoyed on a terrace at dusk overlooking Côte d’Or vineyards. Shaded vigorous garnet with a pale ruby rim. So rich on the nose that it made its presence felt as soon as the opened bottle was put on the table. If only all red burgundy were as sumptuous, rewarding and nuanced as this! Sweet and spicy yet wonderfully fresh on the long finish. Such a treat. (JR)

Sweet cherries, minerals, and earth can be found in the aromatics of the 1999 Chambolle-Musigny Les Amoureuses. This is a lush, gorgeously sexy, pure, and precise wine. Juicy layers of raspberries, cherries, and spicy strawberries can be found throughout its velvety-textured personality and in its admirably long, supple finish. This delightful wine should be consumed between 2003 and 2010. A Becky Wasserman Selection / Le Serbet; French Fax: 011-33-3-80-24-29-70, various American importers.
