This is intense from beginning to end, with earth and vegetal accents boosting the core flavors of black currant, blackberry and violet. Combines elegance with power, while an underlying mineral note builds to the long aftertaste. Terrific balance and length.

This red features great purity to its rose, strawberry and cherry flavors. Spicy oak and mineral add depth, yet this is all about finesse and an ethereal quality that's distinctive. It's balanced, with bright acidity and firm, dusty tannins on the finish that are yet to be resolved.

This is smoky and spicy, featuring sandalwood and Asian spice notes that grace the cherry and raspberry flavors. Firm and tense, with refined tannins lining the finish. Drink now through 2029. 34 cases imported.??–BS??Region: France / Burgundy / Chambolle-Musigny Select to Add

Open-knit and somewhat ephemeral, the 2017 Chambolle-Musigny 1er Cru Les Amoureuses reveals notes of spicy cherries and creamy new oak, followed by a medium to full-bodied, satiny palate with a fleshy core and melting tannins, concluding with a somewhat fleeting finish. While it's a pretty wine, it doesn't live up to the standards of this great vineyard in 2017.

The 2016 Chambolle Musigny 1er Cru Amoureuses was picked on 25 September and includes 30% whole bunch fruit, matured in 35% new oak. For an Amoureuses, it has an understated bouquet, clean and pure but maybe just missing the horsepower and the intensity of its peers. The palate is medium-bodied with fine tannin, quite linear and tensile with just the right amount of salinity, though I would be seeking more precision toward the finish. While it is missing the panache of the 2015, it is a fine Amoureuses that should age with style.
