RATINGS

93Stephen Tanzer

Extraordinarily ripe, aromatic nose of dark berries, minerals, iron, tobacco and truffle. Superripe in the mouth; like an essence of red and black berries. Wonderfully concentrated for the vintage...

92The Wine Advocate

...Jammy blackberries and earth can be discerned in its aromatics. This wine has outstanding density to its black cherry, licorice, and blackberry-filled character. It is concentrated, powerful, yet remains refined and well-defined.

REGION

France, Burgundy, Côte d'Or, Côte de Nuits, Chambolle-Musigny, Les Amoureuses

Les Amoureuses is a Premier Cru vineyard in the Chambolle-Musigny appellation in Burgundy. The 13-5 acre vineyard lies down slope form the Grand Cru Le Musigny. Because of its excellent quality, Les Amoureuses is regarded more like a Grand Cru than a Premier Cru. The largest landholder is Robert Groffier et Fils, who owns nearly 3 acres. Clive Coates has written that “Les Amoureuses is really a sort of younger brother to Musigny itself; perfumed, silky smooth, intense and soft rather than brutal and muscular, and with real finesse.”

TYPE

Red Wine, Pinot Noir, 1er (Premier) Cru

This red wine is relatively light and can pair with a wide variety of foods. The grape prefers cooler climates and the wine is most often associated with Burgundy, Champagne and the U.S. west coast. Regional differences make it nearly as fickle as it is flexible.
