Fresh black cherries are found in the nose of the medium to dark ruby-colored 2000 Chambolle-Musigny Les Amoureuses. Medium-bodied, it reveals outstanding depth of fruit, a lively personality, appealing raspberry, strawberry, rose, and cherry flavors, and a slightly compressed finish. Drink it over the next 6 years. Importer: Diageo Chateau and Estate Wines Company, New York, NY; tel; (212) 572-7725

A deeply colored wine, generous and opulent, full of rich, silky fruit. Aromas of wild strawberries show through on the palate with ripe, sweet fruit and fine but dense tannins. This is a wine that lives up to its name vineyard—a wine for lovers, indeed. ——R.V.(11/1/2002)—— 91
