2002 Jacques-Frederic Mugnier, Chambolle-Musigny Premier Cru, Les Amoureuses 1x750ml

Vinous 95

The 2002 Chambolle-Musigny Les Amoureuses 1er Cru is a standout wine. Ethereal on the nose, this unfurls beautifully and eventually reveals the energy contained within this wine. Molasses hints infuse the red cherry fruit, undergrowth, and Chinese tea notes. This is multi-faceted and mercurial. The medium-bodied palate is intense for this vintage. It is ripe, silky in texture and slightly confit towards the vigorous and long finish. This is a point. Gorgeous. Tasted at the Les Amoureuses vertical at Hide restaurant. [Neal Martin, 11/05/2023]
