Between Vougeot and Morey-Saint-Denis, at the heart of the Côte de Nuits, the small village of Chambolle-Musigny derives its name from an ancient Celtic village called "Cambola".
A much-praised Côte de Nuits Climat, "Les Amoureuses" is certainly the best known of Chambolle-Musigny's 24 Premier Crus. As its name (Women in Love) would suggest, this is a delicate, feminine wine that elicits great emotion. The infinitely delicate nose reveals scents of red fruit (raspberry, strawberry...) and subtle floral notes (rose, violet...). The palate is rich and concentrated, supported by well-integrated oak and bold yet extremely silky tannins. This exceptional wine's finish boasts remarkable length and subtlety.
