Tasting notes
The 2019 Chambolle-Musigny Les Amoureuses 1er Cru is extremely youthful in appearance—bright purple in hue. Concentrated and powerful on the nose, this is lavish and sumptuous, though whether it is a paragon of Pinot Noir is another matter, since it comes across more like a Syrah! The palate is medium-bodied with svelte tannins and very well-judged acidity. It is intense and powerful with a dash of white pepper. Primal with just a bit of heat on the finish, this is an impressive wine more than one to fall in love with. Tasted blind at the Burgfest tasting.

(from a .56 ha parcel). A wonderfully spicy and exuberantly fresh nose offers up notes of dark berries, lavender, rose petal, jasmine tea and a whiff of sandalwood. The super-sleek and almost painfully intense flavors are incredibly fine and when allied with good richness and minerality, it makes for an almost irresistible texture on the balanced finish that flashes both huge length and focused power. This is a marvelously classy Amoureuses that should amply repay extended keeping. In a word, brilliant. (93-96)/2036+<br />
