Vinous

Bright, dark red with ruby tones. Urgent aromas of pomegranate and blackberry, with a hint of coffee and serious medicinal reserve. Dense and chewy but energetic too, with a strong spine of acidity to the powerful, piquant flavors of pomegranate, cranberry and orange zest. No easy sweetness here but densely packed, tactile, firm and very long. The crop level here was under 20 hectoliters per hectare, according to winemaker Millet. 01/2014

Tasted blind at the annual "Burgfest" tasting in Beaune. The 2012 Chambolle Musigny 1er Cru les Amoureuses from de Vogüé might well be one of the greatest that I have tasted from this domaine. It has a beautiful, very pure bouquet with heavenly black cherry and dark plum fruit, stunning mineralité and delineation and laser-like focus. The palate is medium-bodied with supple and fine tannin, supremely well judged acidity, very elegant and veiled in finesse. This is certainly grand cru quality and what d'ya know - under blind conditions I gave this exactly the same mark as their Musigny Vieilles Vignes! Simply sensational. 10/2015
