Silky yet tightly coiled, the 2020 Joseph Drouhin Chambolle-Musigny Les Amoureuses Premier Cru glows with vivid red berries, dried strawberry and black cherry layered with rose petal, subtle spice and a whisper of earth and herbs. The palate is medium to full-bodied but feels weightless, with ultra-fine, integrated tannins and a long, perfumed finish that is more about fragrance and finesse than power. This is an especially ethereal, high-toned expression of Amoureuses that will gain even more nuance with time in bottle.

Chambolle-Musigny Amoureuses Premier Cru from Joseph Drouhin is a tiny, jewel-like parcel of old Pinot Noir vines in the heart of the Côte de Nuits, immediately below Musigny and long regarded as a “quasi–Grand Cru.” The wine is famed for its gossamer texture and haunting perfume—silky, ruby to cherry in color, with shifting aromas from raspberry and wild strawberry to kirsch, violets, truffle and subtle wood—and delivers an unusually intense yet weightless palate that can age gracefully for decades.
