2021 Domaine Comte de Vogüé Chambolle-Musigny 1er Cru "Les Amoureuses"

Monsieur Lupatelli reported that a significant portion of the domaine’s holdings in les Amoureuses have had to be replanted after the 2021 harvest, so this already limited bottling is going to become more scarce starting in 2022, as about a third of their holdings have been grubbed up. The 2021 Amoureuses has turned out beautifully, showing a transparent and black fruity personality on the nose, offering up scents of plums, black cherries, pigeon, a lovely base of chalky soil tones, bitter chocolate, woodsmoke, a touch of stems and a lovely framing of vanillin oak. On the palate the wine is pure, full-bodied and complex, with a lovely, sappy core of fruit, excellent transparency, fine-grained tannins and a long, seamlessly balanced and elegant finish. Outstanding juice. 2033-2085+.
