Chambolle-Musigny Amoureuses Joseph Drouhin 2012 is a Premier Cru red Burgundy from the Côte de Nuits. This wine is produced from a renowned single vineyard planted on clay and limestone soils in the commune of Chambolle-Musigny. This particular bottling balances the site`s legendary finesse with the vintage`s depth, showing a dark, powerful and concentrated profile that retains an underlying silkiness and aromatic complexity.
94 Robert Parker
The 2012 Chambolle-Musigny 1er Cru Amoureuses was picked on 24 September and includes 15% whole cluster fruit, which makes its mark on the nose, infusing the fruit with allspice and cloves. It expands beautifully in the glass – a quintessential Amoureuses. The palate is medium-bodied with silky smooth, velvety tannins that caress the sumptuous finish that belies that structure underneath. Long and assertive on the aftertaste, this will require several years in bottle. Superb. - Neal Martin
93 Vinous
Good bright, dark red. Vibrant, perfumed aromas of raspberry, wild herbs and white pepper; smells intense. Then dense, sappy and very fine-grained on the palate, with terrific lift and inner-mouth perfume to the flavors of raspberry, white pepper, stony minerality, mint and spices. This has 2010-like tension. Finishes dry, classic and incisive, with a firm spine of sweet tannins and terrific mouthwatering length. Leaves the salivary glands quivering. Delicate, elegant and strong. This has just 3.1 grams/liter acidity, according to winemaker Jerome Faure-Brac, but I never would have guessed.Stephen Tanzer1st January 2014
