Jacques-Frederic Mugnier Chambolle Musigny 1er Cru Les Amoureuses 2020 [NET]

Many in Burgundy consider Les Amoureuses the finest Premier Cru in all of Chambolle-Musigny, a wine that routinely rivals the grand crus, and Frederic Mugnier's version is among the most coveted bottles in the entire Cote de Nuits. Mugnier is a master of elegance and perfume, and this tiny half-hectare parcel of old vines, planted on shallow red clay over limestone bedrock, gives him everything he needs. The vines, set down in the 1950s and 60s, deliver the haunting florality and silken texture that define great Chambolle. Fully destemmed, raised in barrel with restraint, this is one of red Burgundy's true benchmarks. A wine for the cellar, and for a special night.
