The 2013 Chambolle-Musigny 1er Cru les Amoureuses has a very elegant, persuasive bouquet that exudes the essence of Pinote. There is great transparency here, a slightly lighter style of Amoureuses with red cherries, strawberry and minerals. The palate is medium-bodied with very lithe tannin that belie the structure underneath. Sure, there is some new oak poking through on the finish, but given several years in bottle, this should be a very fine Amoureuses.
An expressive nose features notes of high-toned red berries, violet, lavender, sandalwood and a hint of Asian style tea. The supple, lacy and copiously mineral-inflected middle weight flavors possess a wonderfully refined mouth feel; indeed this is really quite classy before terminating in a balanced, lingering and harmonious finale. This is not especially concentrated though it is firmly structured while earning its laudatory marks more through finesse and balance than power and punch.
