Chambolle Musigny Amoureuses, Domaine Mugnier 2014

**Note: from old vines of an indeterminate age**
An exceptionally floral and wonderfully elegant nose presents notes of cool and airy high-toned red berry fruit along with plenty of spice and a hint of sandalwood. The medium-bodied flavors are at once silky yet powerful with really lovely underlying tension while delivering terrific length on the beautifully delineated, mineral-driven and harmonious finale. This is quite simply drop dead gorgeous.

The 2014 Chambolle Musigny 1er Cru les Amoureuses has more fruit intensity than the Bonnes-Mares. This is very defined and precise, beautiful floral scents, rose petals with just a hint of orange blossom that typifies this propitious vineyard. The palate is medium-bodied with fresh and very fine tannin. There is lovely poise here, wonderful tension and yet it remains much more understated than say Groffier, de Vogüé or Amiot-Servelle. It is blessed with an elegant and winsome finish that leaves you resisting temptation to take another sip straight away. Bon vin.
