The 1996 Chambolle-Musigny Les Amoureuses 1er Cru is an outstanding wine for what can be a tricky vintage. Dark berry fruit, sea spray and light seaweed scents burst from the glass, well-defined and eager to please. The palate is very well-balanced and typical 1996 insofar that there is a palpable marine element, racy acidity and wonderful purity. It reminds me of Rousseau from this era, very long and persistent on the finish. Wonderful. Tasted at the Les Amoureuses vertical at Hide restaurant.

The 1996 Chambolle-Musigny Les Amoureuses was ethereal in its menthol, eucalyptus and pure ripe fruit. It was a totally seductive wine from start to finish.
