93-95 NM. "From Rion’s 45-year old vines, the 2013 Chambolle Musigny 1er Cru les Amoureuses has an understated bouquet at first, the fruits seeming to bide their time, but they gradually open to reveal mineral-rich, wild strawberry, Morello and citrus scents. The palate is medium-bodied with fine, filigree tannins and well-judged acidity that lend tension and race. This is not a flamboyant or ravishing Amoureuses, it is more about poise and a gradual build in intensity to its detailed finish. The kind of Amoureuses you want to know in the “Tu” rather than “Vous” form." Wine Advocate #216, Dec 2014 |
