Tasting notes
Lean, slight structure. Very delicate fruit. Somewhat bitter to finish – this seems to be lacking the lustre and flesh of the vineyard. (RH)

The 2014 Chambolle Musigny 1Er Cru les Amoureuses has a crisp raspberry and cranberry-scented bouquet, a hint of dried orange peel in the background. The palate is very refined with crisp tannin, not a deep or voluminous Amoureuses, but sophisticated and quite complex, with tangible mineralité on the broody, almost introspective finish. I just think this needs several years in bottle.
About the producer
Although the Bichot family settled in the region in 1350, Albert Bichot was founded in 1831 by Bernard Bichot. Today the producer is one of Burgundy’s most respected, making wines from both its own vineyards and with purchased fruit.
