Tasting notes
Palish red. Lovely perfumed lift to the aromas and flavors of raspberry, minerals, spices and flowers. Quite tight and wound up today, with its strong mineral spine dominating the middle palate. Finishes with outstanding cut and lift and a pronounced element of salty minerality. This very backward wine is tough going today and will need a decade of cellaring.

The 2013 Chambolle-Musigny 1er Cru les Amoureuses has a very elegant, persuasive bouquet that exudes the essence of Pinote. There is great transparency here, a slightly lighter style of Amoureuses with red cherries, strawberry and minerals. The palate is medium-bodied with very lithe tannin that belie the structure underneath. Sure, there is some new oak poking through on the finish, but given several years in bottle, this should be a very fine Amoureuses.
