Domaine Robert Groffier Chambolle-Musigny Premier Cru Les Amoureuses | Fine Vines
The Chambolle-Musigny 1er Cru Les Amoureuses was matured in 15% new oak, a drastic reduction than previous vintages to express the terroir. It is 100% whole cluster fruit. It has another really quite bewitching bouquet with detailed black and red fruit, crushed violet, just a hint of vanilla pod in the background. The palate is medium-bodied with fine grain tannin, pure black cherry and blue fruit, outstanding mineralité and a pixelated, crystalline finish that beckons you back for another sip.
Effusive aromas of flowers, sandalwood, black currant and blackberry are allied to a delicate frame. Balanced in a slim way, with an open, silky texture and a long, mineral-tinged aftertaste. All about finesse.
