RATINGS

96Vinous / IWC

...simply dazzling in the way it captures both the essence of site and the pure richness of the vintage. Layers of perfumed, silky red-fleshed fruit built to a gracious, textured finish full of the resonance and pure depth...

19Jancis Robinson

...great class and a touch of game... Soaring and so full of life and substance yet ethereal too. What Burgundy is all about.

94-96Stephen Tanzer

Knockout nose of crushed blueberry, violet and licorice. Dense, sappy and vibrant, with superb energy and penetration to the flavors of dark berries, peony, lavender, spices and blood orange. Classically dry and wonderfully bright, finishing with a saline impression of strong dry extract and unflagging, echoing perfume.

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.
