Note di degustazione
Groffier’s 2008 Chambolle-Musigny Les Amoureuses shows stunning balance in its layers of intricately perfumed fruit. This is a totally beguiling wine laced with extraordinary elegance and an inviting, captivating personality. Sweet, fragrant fruit lingers on the delicate yet tense finish. Anticipated maturity: 2018-2028. This is a beautiful set of wines from Groffier. The estate farms eight hectares of vineyards, all of which it owns. The fruit receives a cold soak prior to fermentation that accounts for much of the trademark perfume these wines show. The 2009s were bottled between mid-December, 2010 and mid-January 2011.

Medium red. Strawberry, black raspberry, caraway seed, fresh herbs, pepper and smoke on the complex nose. Supple, sweet and moderately deep, in a distinctly cool, slightly herbal style. Turns a bit citrussy toward the back, with firm acidity giving definition and lift to the crushed red berry flavors. Finishes with fine tannins and very good lemon-lime lift. But I couldn't find the floral tones shown by the best vintages of this bottling.
Good deep red. Musky aromas of blackberry, minerals, flowers, coffee and smoked meat. Suave on entry, then seamless and laid-back in the middle, displaying less obvious fruit sweetness today than the Sentiers is showing. But this builds nicely toward the back and finishes with riper tannins. More nuanced than the Sentiers, with subtle soil tones to complement its fruit. Nicolas Groffier describes the 2008s as more fruity versions of the 2006s.
Candied nose rather than transports of delight. Racy and finely etched. Very positive and clean and fresh. The fruit, the whole fruit and nothing but the fruit. Great balance on the palate. Just very slightly timorous, perhaps? (JR)
