Tasting notes
The 2013 Chambolle-Musigny 1er Cru les Amoureuses was picked on October 8-9, and contains 5% whole-cluster fruit. There are two 500 liter barrels, one new and one used. It has a gorgeous nose already: very floral and exuberant, very sensual with pure creme de cassis and blueberry scents. The palate is medium-bodied with very good structure, supremely well-judged acidity and enthralling harmony and precision toward the finish. There is a sense of completeness here: the wine of the vintage for Drouhin? Fabulous and sumptuous, this will seduce at ten paces. Dec 2014, www.robertparker.com
