Robert Parker Wine Advocate Neal Martin - 28 Aug 14
Tasted blind in a line-up of 2011 Amoureuses in Holland, Faiveley’s 2011 Chambolle-Musigny 1er Cru Amoureuses has an extroverted, floral bouquet that verges on gregarious with plush maraschino, blueberry, iris and a light sea influence. It is beautifully defined and focused, the oak nicely integrated. The palate is medium-bodied, nicely balanced, with quite chewy, sinewy tannins. It feels just a little rustic at the moment, a little austerity coming through toward the finish that has a hint of soy sauce on the aftertaste. Tasted June 2014.

Chambolle-Musigny

Chambolle-Musigny, a prestigious appellation in Burgundy's Côte de Nuits, is renowned for its elegant, aromatic Pinot Noir wines. Known for their finesse and complex aromas of red berries, violets, and earth, these wines are often described as the most "feminine" of Burgundy. The appellation's two Grand Cru vineyards, Bonnes Mares and Musigny, produce highly sought-after wines with depth and ageing potential. Notable producers include Domaine Comte Georges de Vogüé, Domaine Georges Roumier, and Domaine Jacques-Frédéric Mugnier, all celebrated for their refined winemaking.
