2023 Jacques-Frederic Mugnier, Chambolle-Musigny Premier Cru, Les Amoureuses 1x750ml

Vinous 90-92

The 2023 Chambolle-Musigny Les Amoureuses 1er Cru has an open bouquet with red berry fruit and touches of brown spice, but it's missing the complexity of some of its peers. The palate is medium-bodied, fresh and well balanced with fine tannins, although it may be missing a little grip. There is a touch of dryness toward the finish. I must admit to being unconvinced by what all intents and purposes comes across as an earlier-drinking Les Amoureuses, particularly when juxtaposed against the far better 2022 at the domaine.
