Description

The 2009 Chambolle-Musigny Les Amoureses is sweet, layered and totally beautiful. At the same time, it is pretty clear the wine has already begun to shut down. With time in the glass, some of the typical weightless energy of Amoureuses comes through, but despite its considerable appeal, the wine is showing only a fraction of its ultimate potential. I imagine the 2009 will enjoy a long drinking window once it awakens from its current slumber. Anticipated maturity: 2019-2039.

Frédéric Mugnier – the fifth generation of the family on the property – took over in 1985.

Cote Chalonnaise

Cote Chalonnaise

South of the main Côte d'Or, the vineyards are interspersed with other forms of agriculture, with just the more favoured slopes being dedicated to vineyards. Few wines from the Côte Chalonnaise are designed for long ageing, but there are many attractive red and white wines at affordable prices, and one unique appellation, Bouzeron, which is made using the Aligoté grape alone.

  • 53 hectares of AC Bouzeron (for Aligoté)
  • 330 hectares of AC Rully (65 percent white). Finest vineyards include Clos St Jacques, Gresigny, La Pucelle, Rabourcé.
  • 257 hectares of AC Givry (85 percent red). Premier Crus include Clos Salomon, Clos Jus.
  • 645 hectares of AC Mercurey (85 percent red). Best Premier Crus include Clos du Roy, Clos l'Eveque, Les Naugues.
  • 291 hectares of AC Montagny (all white). Premier Crus include Les Coères, Les Jardins.

Pinot Noir

Pinot Noir

Pinot Noir is probably the most frustrating, and at times infuriating, wine grape in the world. However when it is successful, it can produce some of the most sublime wines known to man. This thin-skinned grape which grows in small, tight bunches performs well on well-drained, deepish limestone based subsoils as are found on Burgundy's Côte d'Or.

Pinot Noir is more susceptible than other varieties to over cropping - concentration and varietal character disappear rapidly if yields are excessive and yields as little as 25hl/ha are the norm for some climats of the Côte d`Or.

Because of the thinness of the skins, Pinot Noir wines are lighter in colour, body and tannins. However the best wines have grip, complexity and an intensity of fruit seldom found in wine from other grapes. Young Pinot Noir can smell almost sweet, redolent with freshly crushed raspberries, cherries and redcurrants. When mature, the best wines develop a sensuous, silky mouth feel with the fruit flavours deepening and gamey "sous-bois" nuances emerging.

The best examples are still found in Burgundy, although Pinot Noir`s key role in Champagne should not be forgotten. It is grown throughout the world with notable success in the Carneros and Russian River Valley districts of California, and the Martinborough and Central Otago regions of New Zealand.
