RATINGS

93Vinous / IWC

...fragrant bouquet with lovely floral/incense and iris aromas that combine beautifully with the black cherry and boysenberry scents...palate is very well balanced with good depth, again quite floral in style with supple tannin...feels velvety smooth and offers just perfect salinity on the finish that makes you coming back for another sip.

Simply gorgeous sexy, seductive nose of spice and hints of soy and anise followed by medium weight, supple, forward, velvety flavors that finish with unmistakable breed and class. This is not a big wine but rather one built on finesse and understated elegance.

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.
