Tasting Notes
Robert Parker 93
The 2010 Chambolle-Musigny 1er Cru Les Amoureuses has a very refined, delineated bouquet, perhaps a little timid at the moment, which is unusual for an Amoureuses. The palate is medium-bodied with fine tannins. There are layers of tightly-knit red cherries intermingling with raspberry fruit, but the tense finish is sprinkled with spice and white pepper. It develops more complexity and intensity as it aerates in the glass. Superb. Drink 2015-2025+
Anticipated maturity: 2015-2025
Vinous 92-95
The 2010 Chambolle-Musigny Les Amoureuses is huge in this vintage, but it also finished its malo much later than the Baudes and is therefore in a much less mature state. It comes across as rich, deep and impressively layered. The wine gains finesse with time in the glass, as refined floral notes emerge to add complexity on the finish. It will be interesting to see where the Amoureuses goes over the next few years. There is no shortage of potential here.
Anticipated maturity: 2020-2030
