2020 Chambolle-Musigny 1er Cru Les Amoureuses, Albert Bichot

2020 Chambolle-Musigny 1er Cru Les Amoureuses, Albert Bichot

There are few premiers crus prized as highly as Les Amoureuses. Many put it on a par with grands crus, and as the quintessential expression of Chambolle-Musigny. This 2020 is decandently concentrated, with intense dark cherry fruit. There is some considerable tannic content on the palate, layered and building, it will need plenty of time to assimilate.

Tasting notes

The 2020 Chambolle-Musigny Les Amoureuses 1er Cru has a glorious bouquet, very pure with plenty of black cherries, blueberry, violet and mineral scents. This is beautifully-defined. The palate is medium-bodied with sappy black fruit, fine acidity, quite caressing in terms of its silky texture but with real backbone behind it. This is one of the standouts from Albert Bichot this vintage.
