Produced entirely from whole cluster fruit (“given the tiny quantities I have no choice,” said Lardiere), the 2002 Chambolle-Musigny Les Amoureuses offers a nose of roasted dark berries, coffee, and herbs. Medium-bodied, powerful, and firm, its flavor profile is made up of espresso beans and blackberries. This tannic wine will require cellaring. Projected maturity: 2008-2017.
