This too is strikingly floral with its spicy, pure and cool nose that blends attractively complex aromas of both red and dark currant. In the same fashion as the Clos de Bèze, the palate impression of the vibrant middle and overtly mineral-driven flavors is almost delicate yet in contrast to the Bèze, they tighten up on the youthfully austere and gorgeously persistent finish. This is a bona fide 'wow' wine.

This saw the highest ever percentage of whole bunches (40%) in 2016, adding top notes of clove and white pepper to the detailed, finely balanced fruit that’s so typical of this celebrated premier cru. It's ethereal and refined, with chalky precision, spicy wood, 40% new, and a tapering finish. (TA)

The picking teams at Maison Drouhin had to be extremely busy on September 8th of 2017, as they brought in this vineyard, les Baudes, Grands Echézeaux and Musigny all on the same day! The 2017 les Amoureuses here is everything one could hope for, delivering beautifully perfumed nose of cherries, red plums, a hint of beetroot, gamebird, raw cocoa, mustard seed, cedar and a pungent topnote of violets. On the palate the wine is pure, full-bodied and already quite velvety on the attack, with a sappy core, marvelous intensity of flavor, suave tannins, fine focus and grip and a very long, very pure and complex finish.
