The 2014 les Amoureuses had been racked only a week prior to my tasting it, but the wine was showing beautifully despite its having changed residences. The wine included fifteen percent whole clusters in this vintage and offers up a stunning young bouquet of red and black cherries, beetroot, gamebirds, mustard seed, a gorgeous base of chalky soil tones, a touch of vanillin oak and a smoky topnote. On the palate the wine is deep, full-bodied and very, very pure on the attack, with a sappy core, superb soil inflection, great balance and focus and a very long, suavely tannic and tangy finish. There is a fine sense of reserve out of the blocks here that augurs very, very well for its future development in bottle. A gorgeous wine.
