2019 Chambolle-Musigny 1er Cru Les Amoureuses, Albert Bichot

There are few premiers crus prized as highly as this. Many put Les Amoureuses on a par with grands crus, and it has stolen the hearts of many. It is the quintessential expression of Chambolle-Musigny, brimming with sweet redcurrant fruit, and gliding along on silky tannins.

Tasting notes

The 2019 Chambolle-Musigny Les Amoureuses 1er Cru showed just a touch of reduction when I tasted it. It gradually opens to offer red currant, raspberry pastille and rose petal aromas and a slight metallic note that will disappear by the time of bottling. The palate is medium-bodied with supple tannins, fleshy and quite forward. Clean dark berry fruit is laced with brown spices toward a finish that fans out nicely. This should drink well for 15–20 years.
