Tasting notes
Aged in 30% new oak, the deep ruby colored Chambolle-Musigny Derriere La Grange (the vineyard's name means "behind the barn" in French) reveals a lively, fresh blueberry and cherry-scented nose with intermingled notes of vanilla. This superb wine possesses a silky texture and explodes with flavors of blackberries, red fruits, and touches of underbrush and roasted meats on its exceptionally long finish. Drink this gem between 2000-2009. Christian Amiot has been responsible for this estate's wines since 1990 and the quality of his wines has progressed admirably with each vintage. As Robert Parker stated in issue # 100 (August, 1995), the wines of the Domaine Amiot-Servelle "go from strength to strength." I was quite taken by the opulent yet structured nature of the graceful, juicy, beautifully ripe and extracted wines reviewed in this segment. Amiot is a star in the making.

Deeper, more saturated red-ruby color. Blackcurrant, licorice, smoke, tar and a soupcon of spice on the nose. Bigger, sweeter and more filled in on the palate. Sappy black cherry fruit conveys an impression of more extract and substance. Finishes firm and quite long, with stronger tannins.
