The 2018 Chambolle-Musigny Les Amoureuses 1er Cru uses 15% whole bunch from the 25-year-old vines (the rest are 10 years old). It has a fragrant, elegant bouquet of blackberry, briar, sage and subtle oxtail aromas that gently unfold in the glass. The palate is medium-bodied with supple, very fine tannins, and here the Les Amoureuses character really shines. Veins of blue fruit and spices burst through on the finish. There is an appealing crescendo to this wine and it should age with style and panache.

The 2019 Chambolle-Musigny Les Amoureuses 1er Cru is blended with 57% whole bunch (one-third of this vineyard has just been replanted). It has a lovely bouquet of black cherries, cherry liqueur, black pepper and just a touch of balsamic. The palate is medium-bodied with supple tannins, a little more austere than other Les Amoureuses that I have tasted, but leading to a precise finish.

Wine Advocate (92-94)

The 2013 Chambolle Musigny les Charmes comes through three plots just under les Fuesselots that make 1.3 hectares. It has a slightly more reserved, masculine bouquet compared to les Plantes at the moment, but there is still fine focus and delineation in situ. The palate is supple in the mouth, leaning more here to the red side of the fruit spectrum with cranberry and pomegranate, structured on the finish with an attractive grainy texture. Outstanding!

Burghound (90-92)

Here the wood is a bit more prominent though by no means invasive to the nicely spicy nose of mostly dark currant and poached plum nuances. The palate impression of the bigger medium-bodied flavors is surprisingly mineral-driven with fine backend energy on the dusty, compact and equally serious finale that isn't quite as complex, at least not at present.

The 2020 Chambolle-Musigny Les Charmes 1er Cru has 38% whole bunch. It has one of the finest aromatics from the Domaine with quite precise and pure brambly red fruit, crushed stone and rose petal scents. The palate is medium-bodied with fine tannins, well-integrated oak, fine grip towards the finish. Give it four to five years in bottle.

Vinous (88-90)

The 2017 Chambolle-Musigny Les Plantes 1er Cru was a little muted compared to the other crus on the day of my visit. The palate is more expressive, with a confit-like entry and a fine bead of acidity, and quite energetic and vibrant toward the nicely focused finish. Probably one of the earlier-drinking wines from the domaine. Charming, though.

Vinous (90-92)

The 2018 Chambolle-Musignes Les Plantes 1er Cru has a cohesive, slightly minty bouquet, the 35% whole bunch quite discreet. The palate is medium-bodied with supple tannins and well-judged acidity, and quite elegant in style – more so than previous vintages – with a judicious pinch of white pepper and bay leaf toward the finish. This has plenty of character and should age well over the next 12 to 15 years.

Vinous (89)

The 2019 Chambolle-Musigny Village includes around 25% whole bunch this year and about 20% new oak. This has a little more cohesion than the Morey Village at the moment on the nose of dark berry fruit, almost pastille-like. The palate is medium-bodied with good grip, fine tannins and commendable delineation on the finish. Quite strict, in the style of a Morey-Village, but there is commendable vigor.

Vinous (91-93)

The 2020 Charmes-Chambertin Grand Cru, blended with 40% whole bunch and 50% whole bunch, was showing a bit of reduction when I tasted it at the Domaine. The palate is well balanced and translates the structure of its Mazoyeres roots, perhaps for me, just a little too sweet towards the finish at the expense of some precision. I suspect this will age nicely as there is plenty of freshness, though it is overshadowed by the Clos Saint-Denis.

Vinous (94-96)

The 2018 Clos Saint-Denis Grand Cru includes 25% whole bunch fruit. The bouquet shows much more complexity compared with the Charmes-Chambertin: crushed limestone sprinkled over the blackberry and blueberry fruit, beautifully defined and focused. The palate is medium-bodied with fine tannins, assiduously judged acidity and a mineral-driven finish that seems to lacquer the mouth after it has departed. This is a superb Clos Saint-Denis from Amiot-Servelle that should age with panache.

Vinous (94-96)

The 2020 Clos Saint-Denis Grand Cru is raised in 50% new oak with 42% whole bunch. The bouquet shows a little more transparency and mineralité than the Charmes, quite focused at first, becoming more expansive with aeration. The palate is medium-bodied with fine-grain tannins, taut and fresh, superb tension with a sorbet-fresh yet structured finish. This is excellent.

Jasper Morris Inside Burgundy (90-93)

Richer purple black and a sweet ripe fruit here, but it smells in good balance. Much lusher fruit, certainly at least optimum ripeness, but it works very well. Generous fruit behind and good length. The fruit covers the tannins very nicely. Tasted: December 2021

0.5 ha (1.2 acres) of 45-year-old vines; principally shallow 30 cm topsoil over hard Comblanchien limestone rock. 25% new oak. Tank sample. Clear, bright mid-ruby. Great perfume again. Bright red fruits, raspberry and perfumed violets. Lovely elegance, lightness and freshness. Deft.

Jasper Morris Inside Burgundy (91-94)

A fuller purple, showing an exuberant cherry raspberry fruit, with energy behind, and a little thread of acidity. From barrel, this stands head and shoulders above its neighbours. A touch of strawberry too in the long, satisfying finish. Drink from 2026-2032.
