Tasted blind at the Burgfest tasting in Beaune, the 2013 Chambolle-Musigny 1er Cru Les Amoureuses has a composed bouquet with good fruit intensity, blueberry and wild strawberry, neatly integrated oak, a real presence. The palate is medium-bodied with fine tannin, tightly wound at the moment but with precision and a brisk acidic line that keeps everything very focused. Give this 4-5 years in the cellar at least. Tasted September 2016. - Neal Martin

The 2013 Chambolle-Musigny Les Amoureuses 1er Cru has plenty of rustic red fruit on the nose, mulberry, damp moss and a touch of greenness. The palate is medium-bodied with sappy red fruit, fine definition and gains freshness toward the finish, although it does not possess the detail of more recent vintages. Still, I can see this cohering nicely with decanting, and I appreciate the light spiciness on the aftertaste. -- Neal Martin
