Vinous Neal Martin - 01 May 23
The 1999 Chambolle-Musigny Les Amoureuses 1er Cru had a deeper hue than other vintages. Blackberries, Earl Grey, almost pastille-like, one has to step back and admire the precision of this wine. The aromatics are more powerful than the 2002. The palate is medium-bodied with pliant tannins, good density and very pure but with a little chewiness towards the finish. An Amoureuses with muscle even after 24 years. One of Mugnier's bolder wines. Tasted at the Les Amoureuses vertical at Hide restaurant.

A perfectly glorious bottle enjoyed on a terrace at dusk overlooking Côte d’Or vineyards. Shaded vigorous garnet with a pale ruby rim. So rich on the nose that it made its presence felt as soon as the opened bottle was put on the table. If only all red burgundy were as sumptuous, rewarding and nuanced as this! Sweet and spicy yet wonderfully fresh on the long finish. Such a treat. (JR)
