Roumier's 2019 Chambolle-Musigny 1er Cru Les Amoureuses was showing very well, bursting with aromas of blood orange, peonies, raspberries and plums. Medium to full-bodied, sumptuous and seductive, it's velvety and succulent, with a deep core of fruit, ripe tannins and a long, perfumed finish.

Bursting with aromas of rose petals, orange rind, peonies, spices and wild berries, the 2018 Chambolle-Musigny 1er Cru Les Amoureuses is medium to full-bodied, layered and enveloping, with velvety tannins, exquisite precision despite the warm vintage and a pungently perfumed finish. This is a brilliant Amoureuses in the making.

The 2017 Chambolle-Musigny 1er Cru Les Amoureuses is utterly charming, bursting with aromas of rose petals, violets, raspberries and blood orange. On the palate, the wine is medium to full-bodied, supple and satiny, tenderly caressing the palate after the denser, more broad-shouldered Bonnes-Mares. With a pure core of fragrant fruit and supple structuring tannins, it's the quintessential Amoureuses. I suspect it will gain in depth and mass with further barrel and bottle age.

Tasted blind, the 2015 Chambolle-Musigny 1er Cru Les Amoureuses is quite closed, unfurling with extended aeration to reveal a pretty bouquet of wild berries, dark cherries and potpourri, complemented by some deep bass notes of espresso roast and toasty new oak. On the palate, the wine is full-bodied, succulent and richly structured, with a deep and unusually tight-knit core, fine but abundant tannins and a long finish. While wines from this site are often charming out of the blocks, this is an Amoureuses that will demand and reward cellaring.
