NOTES FROM VINOVOSS SOMMELIER
This Jacques-Frederic Mugnier Chambolle-Musigny Premier Cru Les Amoureuses is a complex, concentrated and vibrant Burgundy.Its delicate nose offers a graceful blend of fresh red cherry, raspberry, violets, spices, and a hint of smoke. On the palate, it is full-bodied and generous, with a powerful core of ripe red and black fruits, which is lifted by bright acidity and a wonderful, earthy minerality. The finish is very long and intense, with a beautiful, soft tannic structure that adds complexity and structure. Truly a masterpiece.
