2010 Jacques-Frederic Mugnier, Chambolle-Musigny Premier Cru, Les Amoureuses 1x750ml

Antonio Galloni 94-96+

The 2010 Chambolle-Musigny Les Amoureuses wafts from the glass with the most sensual aromatics one could possibly imagine. A weightless, airy wine, the Amoureuses graces the palate with extraordinary elegance. Despite its finessed personality, there is plenty of underlying structure lurking in the background. The Amoureuses is breathtaking in its sheer beauty, but the best is yet to come. [Antonio Galloni, 02/01/2012]

Anticipated maturity: 2020-2040

Bright medium red. Ineffable aromas of briary raspberry, crushed stone, smoky minerality and smoked herbs. Wonderfully complex and ripe, displaying outstanding sucrosite buffered by firm acidity. Extraordinarily chewy, sweet wine with a three-dimensional texture and great palate-saturating length. "I’ve told everyone to hold their 2009s and not to even taste them today, but I wouldn’t say that you couldn’t try the 2010s now," noted Mugnier. A splendid example of this great premier cru.
