"From Rionâs 45-year old vines, the 2013 Chambolle Musigny 1er Cru les Amoureuses has an understated bouquet at first, the fruits seeming to bide their time, but they gradually open to reveal mineral-rich, wild strawberry, Morello and citrus scents. The palate is medium-bodied with fine, filigree tannins and well-judged acidity that lend tension and race. This is not a flamboyant or ravishing Amoureuses, it is more about poise and a gradual build in intensity to its detailed finish. The kind of Amoureuses you want to know in the âTuâ rather than âVousâ form."

The world's most influential fine-wine producer and the benchmark for Bordeaux, Burgundy, Champagne and the Rhone. Its appellation (AOC) system codifies geography, grape and method, and its wines set the global standard for age-worthiness and terroir expression.
Produces the world's most revered Pinot Noir and Chardonnay from a mosaic of tiny, terroir-defined climats. Its hierarchy of village, Premier Cru and Grand Cru vineyards makes site the ultimate expression of quality.
Produces the most delicate and perfumed reds of the Cote de Nuits, prized for floral elegance and silky texture.
2013 in Burgundy was a difficult, cool and hail-hit year with a late harvest and small crop; the wines are fresh, lean and classically styled, with bright acidity and firm structure, especially the reds.
A thin-skinned, terroir-sensitive red producing perfumed, silky and elegant wines of red-berry fruit and earthy complexity. It reaches its apogee in Burgundy.
