Tasting notes
Reviewed by: Stephen Tanzer
Medium red. Musky strawberry, raspberry and underbrush on the wild nose and palate. Brisk, dry and light on its feet, offering lovely inner-mouth perfume and lift. The sexy underbrush quality carries through on the palate. Finishes dry and perfumed, with lovely floral persistence.

The 2013 Chambolle-Musigny 1er Cru les Amoureuses was picked on October 8-9, and contains 5% whole-cluster fruit. There are two 500 liter barrels, one new and one used. It has a gorgeous nose already: very floral and exuberant, very sensual with pure crème de cassis and blueberry scents. The palate is medium-bodied with very good structure, supremely well-judged acidity and enthralling harmony and precision toward the finish. There is a sense of completeness here: the wine of the vintage for Drouhin? Fabulous and sumptuous, this will seduce at ten paces.
