Reviewed March 2013Bright medium red. Ineffable aromas of briary raspberry, crushed stone, smoky minerality and smoked herbs. Wonderfully complex and ripe, displaying outstanding sucrosite buffered by firm acidity. Extraordinarily chewy, sweet wine with a three-dimensional texture and great palate-saturating length. "I've told everyone to hold their 2009s and not to even taste them today, but I wouldn't say that you couldn't try the 2010s now," noted Mugnier. A splendid example of this great premier cru. (ST)

The 2010 Chambolle-Musigny Les Amoureuses wafts from the glass with the most sensual aromatics one could possibly imagine. A weightless, airy wine, the Amoureuses graces the palate with extraordinary elegance. Despite its finessed personality, there is plenty of underlying structure lurking in the background. The Amoureuses is breathtaking in its sheer beauty, but the best is yet to come. (AG) 94-96+

A restrained and cool but superbly elegant nose features notes of spice, red currant, plum, crushed herbs and rose petal along with the hallmark mineral nuances. There is equally superb focus to the refined, delineated and lacy medium-bodied flavors that are shaped by dense but exceptionally fine tannins that are impeccably well-integrated on the energetic and explosive finish. The sense of underlying tension and poise here are impressive and the hugely long finale is breathtaking. Buy this brilliantly classy effort if you can find it. *Outstanding*

Quite firm and substantial and meaty on the nose. Really quite broad for him. Riper than most. A lot of presence in the mouth. Doesn’t seem as if it’s from a less ripe vintage. 18/20 points.
