Due to the small volume and the necessity to make it up in the tank, the 2021 Chambolle-Musigny Les Amoureuses 1er Cru includes around 50% stems this year. It actually lends a touch of pepperiness that complements the red fruit. This wine is well-defined and focused. The palate is medium-bodied with fine tannins and crisp acidity. It’s harmonious with a touch of pepperiness towards the persistent finish. Very fine. Drink 2025-2042

92-95 points Allen Meadows' Burghound
(from a small .12 ha parcel). Here the restrained yet ultra-fresh and perfumed nose is cooler still with its plethora of spice, red currant, violet and lilac scents. The super-sleek, lacy and lilting flavors pack excellent punch and an abundance of minerality on the focused and strikingly long finale. This is quite classy and I very much like the balance of this built-to-age Amoureuses.

This ripe, classic Amoureuses features lush blackberry fruit aromas and hints of exotic spices and smoke. There is plenty of nuance and length on the palate, with a velvety structure but no lack of grip. The grapes come from the domaine-owned parcel of 0.12 hectares that produced a single 350-litre barrel in 2021. The fruit is mostly destemmed, and fermented with classic punching down to extract tannin and colour before ageing in cask (half new).
