Domaine Jacques-Frédéric Mugnier Chambolle-Musigny Premier Cru Les Amoureuses
Wine Information
Size: 0.53 ha (1.31 ac)
Variety: Pinot Noir
Vine Age: Planted in 1954-1956 and 1966
Terroir: Soil of red clay 30 to 50 cm deep on limestone bedrock

Vinification: 100% de-stemmed, 15 to 20 days indigenous yeast fermentation and maceration in open wooden vats. Aged for 18 months in barrel (15% new oak).
Ultra-elegant and pure aromas are comprised by notes of spiced plum, red raspberry, green tea and a pretty range of floral elements. The rich and satin-textured mouthcoating middle weight flavors possess an excellent sense of energy along with an abundance of minerality that adds a sense of lift to the dusty, focused and gorgeously persistent mildly austere finale. This is a classically styled Amoureuses of grace and lace and one that should age effortlessly for years.
