92-94 / 100 (SWEET SPOT WINE)
Allen Meadows, Burghound
Once again the nose is quite restrained while remaining wonderfully elegant and even more floral with its cool and admirably pure aromas of pomegranate, cherry, spiced tea and plenty of violet and lavender nuances. There is outstanding intensity, in fact it’s presently almost painful, to the pungently mineral-driven middle weight flavors that display terrific persistence on the youthfully austere and equally chiseled finish. This is impressive though note well that it’s very compact and a wine that will require extended patience.
Between Vougeot and Morey-Saint-Denis, at the heart of the Côte de Nuits, the small village of Chambolle-Musigny derives its name from an ancient Celtic village called "Cambola".
A much-praised Côte de Nuits Climat, "Les Amoureuses" is certainly the best known of Chambolle-Musigny's 24 Premier Crus. As its name (Women in Love) would suggest, this is a delicate, feminine wine that elicits great emotion.
