(WA94-96 points) The 2014 Chambolle Musigny 1er Cru Amoureuses is very different from the Chambolle Premier Cru, This explodes with blueberry and blackberry, wilted violets and then later, a touch of boysenberry jam. The palate is medium-bodied with succulent ripe dark cherry fruit, a vein of white pepper, fine structured and very pure with superb tension and mineralité bursting through on the finish. This is a divine Amoureuses, probably more approachable when young compared to recent vintages, but with the substance to age as this cuvée has an inclination to do. - Neal Martin

(BH92-95 points) Here the elegant and cool nose is spicier still though less evidentially floral in character with its extract of red and black currant, plum and sandalwood-scented aromas. The mouth feel of the middle weight and beautifully well-delineated flavors is silky and markedly refined, all wrapped in a firm and youthfully austere finish that is also sneaky long because as soon as it appears to have disappears, it reappears. A classic Amoureuses.

(JG93-94 points) The 2014 les Amoureuses here is also outstanding, but it will want a couple of years more in the cellar to fully blossom than the Premier Cru cuvée. The bouquet is pure and very floral in personality this year, jumping from the glass in a gorgeous blend of plums, black cherries, pomegranate, cocoa, a touch of nutskin, floral tones redolent of roses and peonies, woodsmoke and a whisper of new wood. On the palate the wine is pure, full-bodied and very sappy at the core, with lovely layers of soil tones, suave tannins and a long, focused and very classy finish. This too seems likely to be a very velvety wine when it has fully blossomed.
