2002 Frédéric Magnien Chambolle-Musigny 1er Cru Les Charmes Vieilles Vignes

Pinot Noir more

1/3/2023 - hlaburg Likes this wine: 95 points

Bought on release and decided to open one bottle for the new year. This is Chambolle at its finest mirroring Amoureuses. Layers of sweet complex sneaky fruit that engulfs your palate of Burgundy heaven. This is the real deal and is starting to show so well. Will definitely hold for 5+ years.

Pinot Noir more

5/4/2020 - hlaburg Likes this wine: 90 points

Dark Chambolle fruits of strong character and stuffing that just woke up and then shut down with about half hour of air. This is a serious Chambolle village compared to other producers village wines in 2002. Reminded me of a Gouges NSG kind of power. Will show secondary development character in at least 10 + years and will hold for many more. So much for people saying 2002 is open for business as I’m not opening any more at this point. This bottle was bought on release and needs cellar time as this is a wine for the long haul. Bottle # 00739.

Pinot Noir more

This is Freddy Mugnier of seduction in a glass stamp to no limits.. Drinking almost like an Amoureuses at about 80% minus the texture Amoureuses has. This is just a perfect glass of pinot that is giving showing and just beginning to drink well. This will hold for at least 10 + years. Open an hour before now to let it breath a bit. Wish I had more bottles as I paid about $75 for this back in day. Layers of balanced fruit that are so well integrated and bright. The nose is just so giving and like a piece of art that I could smell all day long.

This wine is just starting to show it’s beauty. The texture and mouthfeel is seductive, balance and complete. Drinks amazing with air but I would hold as this is just beginning to enter its drinking life. Will cellar for another 15+ years easily and show its beauty even more.

Nose of pure earthy meaty red cherry fruit. Round, balanced, polished with a seductive delicate finish that lingers. Drinking so well now and will age. Rousseau's '03's are stupendous.

Gorgeous dark cherry fruit gives this wine impeccable balance. Soft and luscious on the palate. I gave this 2 hours of air, showed well but will age for years to come. Bravo Freddy!

A good CDLR from Rousseau but not great. Definitely missing that balanced sweet fruit I have had from other vintages. Still a great wine considering the vintage.

Loved this! Balanced pinot fruit of sweet dark cherries with ample of amount of tannins to make this wine complete. Freddy's signature winemaking style is all over this as it has that Chambolle finesse .

At Maison Giraud with Paul/Judy. Mouthfeel and finish is of grand cru level. Just pure structured intense finish that went on for 60 seconds+. One of the best premier cru Burgundies I have ever had.

Popped cork 3 hours prior to drinking. Gorgeous red beaming fruit, lovely structure, impeccable balance and just flat out a gorgeous Chambolle. Again, Freddy let's the wine speak without much work. Drinking well now with air but will last for years.

This wine is drinking lovely at the moment. Bright cherry color with subtle pinot flavors that are not complex but very seductive and pretty. Really enjoyed this and glad I have a few more in the cellar.

With steak at CUT. This wine took some time to open but it's definitely in a closed state at the moment. It showed dark pinot fruit with underlying minerals of earth, softened out tannins and a nice medium finish. Going to hold remaining bottles for another 5 years as this wine has tremendous potential.

Amazing wine considering the vintage. Light in color with some cloudiness showing. Subtle Vosne spice on the nose which leads to medium weight Burgundy goodness fruit, spice with a nice long finish. Power without weight. It has definitely put more weight/complexity since I had it last year...

At Delmonico's in Vegas. Gorgeous Chambolle nose of sweet cherries and seduction as I knew right away this was just flat out incredible Burgundy that I was about to drink. On the palate, precision like minerals and intensty with sweet pinot fruit just lingering on a very long finish. Really sexy wine that you beg for more after each sip. This is entering it's drinking window and will last for probably another 20+ years... Amazing wine.

Pulled cork 30 minutes prior to drinking. A lovely Pomerol that has just started to open. Revealing cedar, soft tobacco and earthy character on the nose. As I kept drinking this I realized how silky and smooth this young Bordeaux is. This wine will improve but can be drunk now. Really lovely...

Lovely nose of soft delicate pinot fruit. Tasting this wine was Chambolle heaven in a glass. Silky red fruits with a lovely sexy finesse that has just begun to show. No green and this needs 3+ years.

Popped and poured this wine. Soft Vosne spice with a nice balance of cherries and minerals with a touch of earth on the medium finish. Light in color for a 6 year old wine and drinking beautifully right now. Seductive and elegant is the best way to describe this wine and glad I have more bottles..
