Groffier Chambolle-Musigny 1er cru Les Amoureuses 2013

92-95 points Fine Wine Review: "Groffier owns more Amoureuses than anyone else. The nose is floral and deep with dark fruit. The mouth is medium-weight and elegant with some roses to go with red and dark fruits. 20% whole clusters here, 40% new oak. (Dec 2014)"

93 points Neal Martin (Wine Advocate): "Tasted blind at the Burgfest tasting in Beaune, the 2013 Chambolle-Musigny 1er Cru Les Amoureuses has a composed bouquet with good fruit intensity, blueberry and wild strawberry, neatly integrated oak, a real presence. The palate is medium-bodied with fine tannin, tightly wound at the moment but with precision and a brisk acidic line that keeps everything very focused. Give this 4-5 years in the cellar at least. Tasted September 2016. Drink: 2021-2045. (Nov 2016)"

92+ points Stephen Tanzer (Vinous): "($400 list; 50% new oak, 50% vendange entier): Bright, dark red. Captivating perfume of black raspberry, rose petal and orange zest, plus a wild leathery quality. Quite plush and thick, conveying a noble rusticity to the blackberry and violet flavors. At once powerful and suave, with a fine-grained texture given cut and shape by excellent acidity. Finishes brisk and long, with late hints of fresh blood and leather as well as a slight bitter edge that calls for patience. Drink: 2021-2031. (Mar 2016)"

19/20 points Roy Richards (The World of Fine Wine): "Quite crunchy fruit, sensual but elegant. Beautifully poised. Ever so gentle. (Issue 54; 2016)"
