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

The name of the village "Chambolle" probably derives from the Celtic "cambola" (meaning fertile land near a stream, good quality soil), already known 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 drinking this wine, others claim that the expression "a wine that has 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 in all of Burgundy! The colour can vary from cherry to ruby. A wide range of seductive aromas that can evolve from raspberry to kirsch from one moment to the next. Later, the nose can show some truffle, mushroom or woody notes and in some years musky, even animal nuances. The aromas are always restrained and elegant. In the mouth, a deliciously silky feeling, with very refined tannins. Intensity, velvety texture and lively freshness: this well-named wine is a masterpiece of harmony. The finish is very delicate and leaves an impression of supreme refinement. This is a 1.5 liter magnum. Even tastier and has an even longer drinking window .
