Aromatically, the medium-to-dark ruby-colored Chambolle-Musigny Les Amoureuses reveals sublime scents of tangy, earthy black currants, cherries and violets. Gorgeously feminine and elegant, this silky-textured, medium-to-full-bodied wine is highly-delineated, precise and packed with ripe blackberries. Possessing the necessary structure for extended cellaring, it will be at its best between 2002-2012. This note is the result of tastings I did in Burgundy in Washington, D.C. in April. The wine was tasted from cask, not bottle. Pinot Noir, a fragile varietal, reacts poorly to fining, filtration, and careless bottling techniques, I recommend caution when considering buying a red burgundy based on cask samples. I called it as I tasted it, and hope the bottled wine reflects the quality of the samples I was provided. Overall, 1995 is another in a string of successful vintages for Jadot. If there is one negociant house consumers can feel comfortable buying blindly, vintage to vintage, it is Jadot. Importer: Kobrand Corp., New York, NY; tel. (212) 490-9300
