Joseph Drouhin Chambolle Musigny 1er Cru Amoureuses 2017 [NET]

$52999

Drouhin, for years, was considered one of Burgundy's top negociants. Now they prefer to think of themselves as one of Burgundy's top domaines, and given they've been farming organic since 1990 and biodynamic shortly thereafter, that case is easy to make. The house style is restrained and perfumed, leaning Beaune-elegant rather than muscle-bound. Amoureuses is Chambolle's flagship premier cru, planted right next to Le Musigny and routinely priced like a grand cru. The 2017 is the graceful, classical reading of the vintage: silken, perfumed, exactly the kind of wine that earned Amoureuses its reputation.

"This too is strikingly floral with its spicy, pure and cool nose that blends attractively complex aromas of both red and dark currant. In the same fashion as the Clos de Bèze, the palate impression of the vibrant middle and overtly mineral-driven flavors is almost delicate yet in contrast to the Bèze, they tighten up on the youthfully austere and gorgeously persistent finish. This is a bona fide 'wow' wine." —Allen Meadows

"The 2017 Chambolle-Musigny Les Amoureuses 1er Cru was picked on September 8 and includes 40% whole cluster fruit. What I love about this Amoureuses is that it could not come from anywhere except this prestigious vineyard. The refined floral bouquet is sensual and nicely defined. The harmonious, feminine palate is beautifully balanced, displaying filigreed tannin and a precise, transparent finish that is intellectual as well as seductive. This is a beautifully crafted wine and vies with the Clos-de-Bèze as one of Drouhin’s finest 2017s." —Neal Martin

"The 2017 Chambolle-Musigny 1er Cru Les Amoureuses was a little reserved when I tasted it, unwinding in the glass with aromas of raspberries, spices and subtle new oak, holding back the floral top notes that routinely characterize this cuvée and which I'm sure will emerge in due course. On the palate, the wine is medium to full-bodied, ample and layered, with a succulent and voluminous core of beautifully pure fruit, satiny structuring tannins and a long, delineated finish. I caught this at a bad moment, but it's evidently an excellent Amoureuses in the making." —William Kelley

"This saw the highest ever percentage of whole bunches (40%) in 2016, adding top notes of clove and white pepper to the detailed, finely balanced fruit that’s so typical of this celebrated premier cru. It's ethereal and refined, with chalky precision, spicy wood, 40% new, and a tapering finish."

More about Joseph Drouhin

Founded in 1880, Drouhin is generally considered to be the top tier of the larger Maisons in Burgundy. But today it has more land ownership than purchase agreements and acts as a large domaine that occasionally purchases fruit and leases land.

Maurice Drouhin began reducing chemical treatments in the vineyards way back in 1957, and for the past 3 decades now the Drouhins have been converting all their vineyards and fruit sources to biodynamic farming. They are considered leaders in biodynamic viticulture in Burgundy and throughout France.
