Tasted at the Chambolle Amoureuses vertical in London, the 2007 Chambolle-Musigny 1er Cru les Amoureuses clearly offers more intensity on the nose compared to the 2006. This is quite tertiary in style, earthy with a hint of singed leather, almost Barolo in style. The palate is medium-bodied with fine tannin interlaced with red cherry and orange peel, with hints of bitter cherry towards the forward, open-armed finish. Like many 2007s, this just seems to have reached its perfect pitch right now and I would have no hesitation in opening this now and saving other vintages until later. Tasted November 2015.

Lifted, complex, floral nose. Fine, enticing, silky and sexy. Lovely complex fruit. Well balanced, but still with the 2007 lightness. Impressive.
