Chambolle Musigny Les Amoureuses Joseph Drouhin 2023 (750ML)

96 Ponts, John Gilman, View from the Cellar: "lex and sappy, offering up scents of plums, red and black cherries, pigeon, mustard seed, a gorgeous base of chalky minerality, woodsmoke, bitter chocolate, cedar and a topnote of roses. On the palate the wine is pure, full-bodied and gorgeously sappy at the core, with great soil signature, ripe, buried tannins, tangy acids and stunning backend energy and lift on the very long, complex and seamlessly balanced finish. hauntingly beautiful young wine! 2040-2100" 01/25 #115

93-95 Points, Neal Martin, Vinous: " The 2023 Chambolle-Musigny Les Amoureuses 1er Cru is a more tightly wound Les Petit-Monts, but it unfolds with touches of dark berry fruit, cola and wilted rose petal, with more blue fruit surfacing with aeration. The palate is medium-bodied with succulent ripe tannins. Some wood tannins are evident but will be subsumed with time. This is a Les Amoureuses that will require time, with light peppery notes toward the rounded, quite persistent finish. (Drink between 2028-2055)" 01/25

93-95 Points, William Kelley, Robert Parker's Wine Advocate: "The 2023 Chambolle-Musigny 1er Cru Les Amoureuses is terrific, wafting from the glass with aromas of raspberries and cherries mingled with rose petals and blood orange. Medium to full-bodied, with a deep, cool core of fruit, suave tannins and a long, perfumed finish, this is well worth seeking out." 01/25

93-96 Points, Jasper Morris, Inside Burgundy: "A slightly more sombre crimson purple. Evident whole bunches with crushed strawberries. Softly sensual on the palate, builds nicely to the back, some rose petals too. Very long and classy after all. Softer than some but with luscious appeal." 11/24

93-95 Points, Allen Meadows, Burghound: " Like many of the wines in the range, this too is exuberantly floral with its airy, ripe and elegant aromas of black cherry, kirsch and exotic jasmine tea. The succulent, rich and overtly mineral-driven flavors possess bright acidity on the balanced and sappy finish that is also shaped by dense but fine-grained tannins. This is quintessential Amoureuses and a wine of lace, grace and class. (Drink starting 2035)" 04/25
