Tasting notes
The 2015 Chambolle-Musigny 1er Cru les Amoureuses includes 50% whole bunch fruit and 50% new oak. In a funny way, the Les Amoureuses is more like the Bonnes-Mares in style - certainly more expressive and flamboyant at the moment with abundant, vivacious black cherry and boysenberry fruit laced with violet petals. The palate is sorbet-fresh on the entry with veins of orange rind interlaced with the black cherry fruit, quite spicy and certainly very saline towards the finish that delivers superb structure. I like the subtle sour cherry note just on the aftertaste that urges you back for another sip. Dec 2016, www.robertparker.com, Drink: 2022-2045

Tasted blind, Groffier's 2015 Chambolle-Musigny 1er Cru Les Amoureuses showed good potential, unwinding in the glass with aromas of espresso roast, cassis, cherries and dark chocolate. On the palate, the wine is full-bodied, firm and tangy, with an abundance of fine, chalky tannins and racy underlying acids. It will need some time in bottle to unwind, but it appears to be very promising. Oct 2018, www.robertparker.com
