2021 Domaine Joseph Drouhin Chambolle-Musigny 1er Cru Les Amoureuses

The vineyard where the Pinot Noir grapes for the Joseph Drouhin Chambolle-Musigny 1er Cru 'Les Amoureuses' come from is located in the heart of the Côte de Nuits, one of the jewels of Domaine Joseph Drouhin. The name of the village "Chambolle" probably derives from the Celtic "cambola" (meaning fertile land near a stream, good quality soil), already famous for its vineyards in Gallo-Roman times and cultivated by the monks in the Middle Ages. "Amoureuses" means "lovers" in French. Some say that you fall in love when you drink this wine, others claim that the expression "a wine with love" is used in Burgundy to describe a wine with a beautiful bouquet... Whatever the true meaning, this Premier Cru has always been very highly appreciated, almost on the same level as Musigny, its famous Grand Cru neighbor. The Joseph Drouhin Chambolle-Musigny 1er Cru 'Les Amoureuses' is one of the most subtle wines of all Burgundy! The colour can vary from cherry red to ruby red. A wide palette of seductive aromas that can evolve from one moment to the next, from raspberry to kirsch. Later, notes of truffle, mushroom or wood can emerge on the nose, and in some years even musky or animal nuances. The aromas are always restrained and elegant. On the palate, a beautiful silky sensation, with very refined tannins. Intensity, velvety texture and lively freshness: this aptly named wine is a masterpiece of harmony. The finish is very delicate and leaves an impression of ultimate refinement. In OWC/1 FACT: In the tab 'Attachments' you will find the official fact sheet of this beautiful wine.
