The fruit for the 2013 Chambolle-Musigny 1er Cru les Amoureuses comes from a very good source and it shows in what might well be Jean-Marie Fourrier's standout from his négoçiant range. It has a well-defined and sensual bouquet with fine mineralité, aromatics that really capture the essence of the vineyard. The palate is very well balanced with filigree tannins, wonderful tension and poise. There's not much of it, but it is worth seeking out if you can.
Two casks. How so? ‘Nothing is for sale until you name the right price.’
Deep crimson. Great perfume and seduction. Glorious already. Very fine tannins. So sweet and lovely. Even a cassis hint. Amazing length. All undertow.
