Perfect cork. Pale red, translucent , but no bricking Soft cherry and wild berry fragrance, rose petals, smooth, some nuttiness with cherry stone zest. Soft round mouthfeel , good acidity , light silky tannins . Cherry fruit, damson, light earthy nutty complexity , cherry stone and a little dark spice. Excellent balance structurally and flavour wise. Definitely ready but on a wide plateau. Superb drinking.

Drinking Some Great Mugnier as an Hommage to Becky Wasserman (Republique - Los Angeles CA): In 99/01/02/05 vertical, followed by the same vintages of Musigny. Also red and black cherry throughout. Slightly riper and bigger vs 2001, but less texturally nuanced. Great length with sneaky power on finish. A great wine that has kept improving with age and still has further upside.

This 2002 J F Mugnier Chambolle Musigny 1er Cru Les Amoureuses is my wine of the night. Tasted blind at Chambolle Musigny 1er Cru dinner – A light and ethereal bouquet of summer berries, strawberries, and delicate rose petals. Incredible soft and seductive with silky tannins, Les Amoureuses at its finest. 2006 J F Mugnier Les Amoureuses? (93+/100)

Gathering with Burgundy Lovers: Amazing seductive aromas very complex aromatic of orange peel, sweet fruits, forest floor, mushroom, oriental spices with sorbet like freshness. Fresh entry with excellent acidity, the complex, delicate flavours filling the mouth, expanding and lingering on the palate yet with serious depth and also amazing weightlessness. Spices infused super long finish that’s linger. This is just such an elegant and pretty wine. Always a treat to drink this wine.

Sapid red cherry, raspberry nose with a little bit of anise and funk. Resonant palate, if not yet fully developed.
