Tasting notes
The 2019 Chambolle-Musigny Les Amoureuses 1er Cru has a very well-defined bouquet of Morello cherries, wild strawberry and touches of orange pith. It’s a little "contained" at first, though it only requires a few swirls of the glass to reveal real complexity and terroir expression. The palate is medium-bodied with pliant tannins—ripe and rounded so that it seduces with its cashmere texture. Gradually building in the mouth toward quite a deep and complex finish, this reveals a hint of on the aftertaste. Excellent. Tasted blind at the Burgfest tasting.

An exuberantly fresh and ripe nose is comprised by notes of crushed herbs, poached plum, black cherry, violet and lavender along with a panoply of spice elements. The elegant, silky and pure flavors possess a highly sophisticated mouthfeel while delivering superb length on the balanced and harmonious finish where a hint of bitter cherry pit character appears. This lacy effort dances across the palate yet the focused power and firm lashing of tannins make abundantly clear the wine's potential to successfully age over the mid to longer-term. Impressive.
Mugnier's 2019 Chambolle-Musigny 1er Cru Les Amoureuses is thrilling, soaring from the glass with scents of peonies, blood orange, rose petals, raspberries, bergamot and Indian spices. Medium to full-bodied, deep and layered, it's exquisitely refined, with melting tannins, vibrant fruit and a long, penetrating finish. Exemplifying the ideal of intensity without weight, this is worth every effort to seek out.
