2009 Chambolle Musigny Les Amoureuses

Good bright, dark red. Raspberry, blueberry and pomegranate fruit aromas are complicated by exotic lichee and hints of peach and grapefruit. The silky palate shows a penetrating sweetness leavened by harmonious acidity, with captivating grapefruit and pineapple notes and firm underlying minerality contributing to the impression of precision. Very refined and lively wine, and not at all fat. Leaves a scent of red rose behind in the empty glass. Showing beautifully today. Jan 2011, www.vinous.com
