Tasting notes
The 2020 Chambolle-Musigny Les Amoureuses 1er Cru has a fragrant nose. It's intense with black cherries, raspberry, hints of bergamot and light undergrowth scents. This is pretty penetrating. The palate feels plush and luxuriant, with supple tannins, silky smooth, and layers of blueberry and black cherry fruit laced with blood orange. It doesn't quite deliver the complexity, the full bandwidth of a top Amoureuses, but it's sensual and pure. Drink over the next 20 to 25 years. Tasted blind at the Burgfest tasting.

The 2020 Chambolle-Musigny Les Amoureuses 1er Cru, from the only part that is under Musigny, has a fragrant and poised bouquet with violet-tinged blue fruit. Fine delineation here. The palate is smooth and quite sensual with fine tannins, just a slight and welcome bitterness that keeps this on edge towards the finish. Quite linear on the finish, this will deserve several years in bottle, but it needs more joie-de-vivre and, for want of a better word...soul.
