Chambolle-Musigny 1er Cru - Les Amoureuses 2022

 "Amoureuses" in French means "lovers". Some people say you fall in love drinking this wine, others claim that the expression "a wine that has love" is used in Burgundy to describe a wine with a magnificent bouquet...Whatever the true meaning, this Premier Cru has always been rated very highly, nearly at the same level as Musigny, its famous Grand Cru neighbour.

"One of the most subtle wines in all of Burgundy ! The colour may vary from cherry to ruby.

A large palette of seductive aromas which can evolve, one minute to the next, from raspberry to kirsch.Later, the nose may display some truffle, mushroom or woody notes and, in some years, musky, even animal nuances. The aromas are always restrained and elegant.

On the palate, a wonderful silky sensation, with very refined tannins. Intensity, velvety texture and lively freshness: this well-named wine is a masterpiece of harmony.

The aftertaste is very delicate and leaves an impression of supreme refinement".
