Tasted blind, Mugnier's stunning 2015 Chambolle-Musigny 1er Cru Les Amoureuses similarly confirmed its magical showing earlier this year, soaring from the glass with a blaze of cherries, orange rind, licorice and rose petals. On the palate, the wine is full-bodied, ample and layered, seemingly beginning to shut down, with racy acids, an ineffable sense of completeness and a beautifully integrated chassis of incipiently satiny structuring tannin.
