Note di degustazione
Tasted blind at the annual "Burgfest" tasting in Beaune. The 2012 Chambolle Musigny 1er Cru les Amoureuses from Christophe Roumier was showing just a touch of TCA on the nose. Yet the quality of this Amoureuses was not obscured, particularly on the beautifully structured palate that feels so long and tender. Damn those corks that try to ruin what is a fantastic wine clearly visible underneath.

Bright dark red. Pungent, high-pitched aromas and flavors of crushed raspberry, blood orange, white pepper and smoky minerals; this one has those ineffable high notes only a dog can hear. At once dense and bracing, showing razor-sharp definition and outstanding savory sappiness. This wonderfully taut, fine-grained Amoureueses finishes with almost painful rising length and chewy, utterly palate-staining intensity. Should be a cellar classic.
Good dark red. Incredibly primary aromas of crushed cherry, raspberry, pomegranate and dusty stone, lifted by a high note of blood orange; like smelling fresh grapes. A real essence of Chambolle-Musigny, with a minty, medicinal reserve to its urgent yet compellingly sweet berry flavors. Wonderfully juicy, precise and subtle wine (Roumier describes it as "more clever" than the Bonnes-Mares). An infant today, this wine boasts fabulous potential.
