  Deep colour, deeply pitched fruit. Black cherry laden with spice. Some Arum lily florals with air. Very minerally, very intense and very good.

  Still very youthful with the most gorgeous cherry perfume. On the palate, the wine shows incredibly fine cherry fruit with a still-firm structure that leads to a beautiful layered, complex finish. Lingering notes of cherry spice and minerals remain on the tongue. This has decades more development ahead but I simply couldn't put the glass down and it disappeared very quickly. Decanted 2 hours. 95+

  1st of 6, decanted an hour, perfect cork and level - dark, not dense garnet, little development; black cherry, plum, hint of raspberry, mineral, lightly spiced, entrancingly complex; fullish, very long, intense and with outstanding persistence and grip, attractive even though yet to reach proper maturity, classical winemaking and all the better for that, cool complex fruit with that extra generosity of a top vintage, a treat with many years of life ahead. VF (18.5)……..divided opinion v lovely Rousseau Chambertin 2000.

  Les Amoureuses is of Burgundy’s greatest mythical wines. Located in Chambolle Musigny next to the almighty Musigny, it deserves to be promoted to Grand Cru. Les Amoureuses is something very special, it has the concentration and depth of Bonnes Mares, and offers much more beguiling ethereal fragrance. Sexy premium oak spices, intoxicating array of flowers. Delicate yet focused. Pure with great clarity of flavours. Very flamboyant and flirtatious. Great length and delicate character. Sensational! (95++/100)

  Nose is inexpressive, dark cherry and woody. Not full on cough syrup but certainly in that direction. Nothing in the way of Amoureuses florals or finesse, this is chunky and straightforward. Not keen on Vogue stylistically, but Amoureuses always seems to rise above and deliver an ethereal experience which was unfortunately nowhere to be found with this bottle. Not convinced that as a ‘99 this was just too young either as this was just lacquered. A little better on the palate but the nose is definitely a disappointment. Okay, good, but nothing special.
