  February 25, 2022 - Alluring rendition of Amoureuses that is close to peak. Ample spice and blue fruit, silky mouthfeel, this is incredibly easy to drink.

  January 11, 2021 - This wine is ready to drink with just a decant to remove sediment. Although I don’t know the “Amoureuses” nuances; this wine had a wonderful; oriental spice/sandalwood aroma I associate with Echezeaux or Vosne-Romanee. Enough Tertiary is to say “drink me”. Kinda seductive as an older temptress; yet some earth and cherry/Pinot to remind you of it’s breeding. The flavor was so elegant and velvety. Yet; enough concentration to not be considered too light. All the aroma elements were there on the palate. This is a wine not for Ripe, fruit forward RRV Pinot fanatics. For those who seek sublime and complexity not hitting you over the head. Drink now. I think it’s at it’s apogee (like a lot of 2001 Burgundies and Bordeaux’s). 2001 is a classic vintage; with some Old World nostalgia and not for those who seek bolder, riper wines; which they define as quality/hedonism.

  October 12, 2020 - This bottle had some volatile acidity hanging around but underneath that was a deeply floral and perfumed nose of red and blue fruit. Less earth influenced than the ‘01 Lignier Morey St. Denis 1er alongside, but definitely had a look at that silky Chambolle expressiveness. Palate youthful and defined red and blue berry. Very pretty, also strong.

  August 5, 2019 - Les Amoureuses Dinner (Imperial Treasure Teochew, Ion): Fourth time out with a bottle of this wine, and it was bang back on form. Absolutely beautiful. The nose was a melting melange of earth, perfumy florals and sweet red fruits, ringed with a little halo of spice - so alluring. The palate was soft and melting, with silky tannins and soft but fresh acidity coating wonderfully clear, transparent flavours of dark cherries, all gently infused with a bit of spice and earth and florals. Mouthfilling perfume I wrote. A soft, alluring, perfectly poised wine, full of transparency and liveliness. Strong, yet weightless. A beautiful Chambolle, drinking quite at peak - the best of a strong trio of Groffier Amoureuse, and by some distance the wine of the night amidst a very strong field. I was in love with this one.
