Joseph Drouhin : Chambolle-Musigny 1er cru "Amoureuses" 2022

Drouhin's 2022 Amoureuses is a magical wine, all perfume and silk. There are lovely aromas of ripe black cherries with a floral note and hints of violets and cardamom. The texture is dense and lush without being heavy, and the fresh acid balance carries the wine to a lingering finish. The grapes come from four domaine-owned parcels of old vines and are fermented as 40% whole clusters before ageing in primarily used casks. The result will open in three to five years and drink for 20 or more afterwards.
