Tasting notes
The 2018 Chambolle-Musigny Les Amoureuses 1er Cru includes 40% whole-bunch fruit and matured in the same percentage of new oak. It has a lovely, very pure and charming bouquet with copious red cherries, crushed strawberry and pressed rose petal aromas, veins of blue fruit emerging with aeration. The palate is candied and forward on the entry. It does not deliver the depth and precision of this premier cru’s finest exponents, although there is a sensuality that is irresistible. Drink over the next two decades.

Cask sample. Pale crimson. Hint of sweet oak on the nose. Fresh fruit but the oak comes curling round the palate to insinuate itself on the end. Not really the majesty of the climat. (JR)
About the producer
Although the Bichot family settled in the region in 1350, Albert Bichot was founded in 1831 by Bernard Bichot. Today the producer is one of Burgundy’s most respected, making wines from both its own vineyards and with purchased fruit.
