Tasting notes
(Sweet spot Outstanding)<br /> Once again the nose is quite restrained while remaining wonderfully elegant and even more floral with its cool and admirably pure aromas of pomegranate, cherry, spiced tea and plenty of violet and lavender nuances. There is outstanding intensity, in fact it's presently almost painful, to the pungently mineral-driven middle weight flavors that display terrific persistence on the youthfully austere and equally chiseled finish. This is impressive though note well that it's very compact and a wine that will require extended patience.

The 2019 Chambolle-Musigny Les Amoureuses 1er Cru showed just a touch of reduction when I tasted it. It gradually opens to offer red currant, raspberry pastille and rose petal aromas and a slight metallic note that will disappear by the time of bottling. The palate is medium-bodied with supple tannins, fleshy and quite forward. Clean dark berry fruit is laced with brown spices toward a finish that fans out nicely. This should drink well for 15–20 years.
About the producer
Although the Bichot family settled in the region in 1350, Albert Bichot was founded in 1831 by Bernard Bichot. Today the producer is one of Burgundy’s most respected, making wines from both its own vineyards and with purchased fruit.
