2015 Chambolle Musigny Les Amoureuses

The 2015 Chambolle-Musigny 1er Cru Les Amoureuses has a voluminous bouquet with copious black cherry, blueberry, violet and Indian ink aromas that do not hold back. If you want an opulent and ravishing Les Amoureuses, then this is where to come. The palate is medium-bodied with very fine tannin, the terroir really imprinting itself upon this wine and elevating it above the other premier crus from the domaine, the finish pure and sensual. Classy.

(one of the three barrels was new): Bright, medium-deep ruby. Very dark aromas of blackberry, kirsch , licorice, crushed stone and bitter chocolate, lifted by a violet topnote. Boasts the suavest texture of these Chambolle cuvées , as well as the most obvious inner-mouth mineral energy and lift. Densely packed but with a light touch and excellent cut. A very dark and ripe style of Amoureuses but also silky and showy in the early going. The firm, slowly mounting finish offers excellent grip. This very youthful wine should enjoy a slow and graceful evolution in bottle.
