"The 2002 vintage was one of Pierre Bertheau’s last and he did a very fine job. The ’02 Amoureuses is still a tad on the young side and a bit reticent on both the nose and palate, so my score may ultimately prove just a tad conservative, as there are still secrets to reveal here with further bottle age. The bouquet is bright and predominantly red fruity, offering up scents of cherries, beetroot, just a touch of dark berry, venison, woodsmoke, mustard seed, a fine base of soil tones and a topnote of rose petals. On the palate the wine is deep, full and still fairly primary in personality, with a good core, fine focus and grip, modest tannins and a long, tangy finish. Given how well the 2002 Charmes is drinking today, I have to assume that the Amoureuses simply needs a bit more time to properly blossom . . ."
