Note di degustazione
Bright medium red. Ineffable aromas of briary raspberry, crushed stone, smoky minerality and smoked herbs. Wonderfully complex and ripe, displaying outstanding sucrosite buffered by firm acidity. Extraordinarily chewy, sweet wine with a three-dimensional texture and great palate-saturating length. "I've told everyone to hold their 2009s and not to even taste them today, but I wouldn't say that you couldn't try the 2010s now," noted Mugnier. A splendid example of this great premier cru.

The 2010 Chambolle-Musigny Les Amoureuses wafts from the glass with the most sensual aromatics one could possibly imagine. A weightless, airy wine, the Amoureuses graces the palate with extraordinary elegance. Despite its finessed personality, there is plenty of underlying structure lurking in the background. The Amoureuses is breathtaking in its sheer beauty, but the best is yet to come.

The Amoureuses is breathtaking in its sheer beauty, but the best is yet to come. Anticipated maturity: 2020-2040. Leave it to Frederic Mugnier to take a contrarian view of the 2010 vintage. Mugnier is quite clear in espousing his opinion that not only is 2009 a better vintage than 2010, but that the 2009s will be longer-lived as well. His advice to me was to drink the 2010s now and cellar the 2009s. Mugnier’s highly personal take is also reflected in the unconventional order in which these wines were tasted. I have to say, it was quite eye-opening to taste the wines in a different sequence than is the norm, as it keeps the palate and intellect sharp. The harvest started on September 22. As has been the case for a while, the focus is on doing as little as possible to the wines once they are in cellar, which among other things means that new oak is now practically non-existent here.

Good dark, bright red with a purple tinge. Knockout nose combines huckleberry, white pepper, coffee and rose petal. Penetrating and precise, with uncanny grip to the flavors of berries, orange peel and peony. Tactile and dense but with a magically light tough, thanks to its crushed stone minerality. A real whiplash of a finish here; leaves a compelling perfume in the empty glass. Offers stunning potential.
