Jacques-Frederic Mugnier Description
Domaine Jacques-Frederic Mugnier Chambolle-Musigny Les Amoureuses is the epitome of Burgundy wines. With a limited annual production of 900 to 2700 bottles, this premier cru gem is a testament to passionate winemaking and meticulous craftsmanship. Nestled in a 1.3-acre vineyard, our oldest vines date back to the 1950s, with the youngest planted in 1966. The secret to its tantalizing flavor lies in the vineyard's unique terroir, featuring red clay and compact limestone that challenges the vines to force their roots through the rock, resulting in unparalleled complexity.
Les Amoureuses is a captivating and enchanting wine, showcasing the paradoxical union of exceptional richness and airy delicacy. The nose offers a delightful bouquet of flowers and red berry fruit, while the palate reveals layers of aromatic intensity, depth of texture, and remarkable length. This wine truly embodies the essence of Burgundy, a testament to the romantic allure of its name.
Jacques-Frederic Mugnier Chambolle-Musigny Les Amoureuses pairs beautifully with a variety of dishes that showcase its harmonious complexity. Consider indulging in succulent roasted duck, tender rack of lamb, or earthy mushroom risotto to complement the wine's floral and red fruit notes. For those with a penchant for delicate seafood, try pairing it with seared scallops or grilled lobster to accentuate its elegant, nuanced flavors.
Allow this enchanting wine at least 7 years to develop and unveil its true potential. For the patient connoisseur, be rewarded with an aging potential that can exceed 5 decades for certain exceptional vintages. Domaine Jacques-Frederic Mugnier - Chambolle-Musigny Les Amoureuses is an extraordinary wine experience that will linger in your memory long after the last drop has been savored.
Burghound: 96 Points
Restrained, pure and strikingly spicy aromas are comprised by notes of violet, rose petal, lilac, Asian-style tea and sandalwood. The gorgeously textured, even satiny, flavors glide across that palate while displaying an almost pungent minerality that also suffuses the wonderfully persistent if moderately austere finish.
