Robert Parker (95)

The 2017 Chambolle-Musigny 1er Cru Les Amoureuses is utterly charming, bursting with aromas of rose petals, violets, raspberries and blood orange. On the palate, the wine is medium to full-bodied, supple and satiny, tenderly caressing the palate after the denser, more broad-shouldered Bonnes-Mares. With a pure core of fragrant fruit and supple structuring tannins, it's the quintessential Amoureuses. I suspect it will gain in depth and mass with further barrel and bottle age.

Amoureuses is not the most powerful wine but ages as long as Bonnes Mares. The drinking window opens earlier, suggests Christophe Roumier, citing Henri Jayer’s maxim that if a wine is good in youth it will be good for all of its life. Around 60% whole bunch. Barrel sample.
Much the prettiest and most fragrant of Roumier’s wines so far tasted. Wild red fruits and just a hint of roses. Pretty but not showy. Incredibly moreish while also having a lightness of touch. Tannins are a little stony and there is an overall stoniness that does not diminish the fragrance. Firm on the palate but in a subtle way. Intense without weight. Glorious length and harmony with a sour freshness of cherry at the very end. (JH)
