The 2005 Chambolle-Musigny Les Amoureuses displays sweet aromas of peony, ripe black raspberry and cassis. A tender palate impression of subtle creaminess, ultra-refined tannins, insistent freshness of fruit, and spice and chalk nuances leads to a finish of startling clarity and purity
![]() | Allen Meadows’s Burgendy reference : "The always thoughtful enologist François Millet called 2007 a "vintage with a curious growing season. We had an extremely hot April, in fact the warmest April ever, followed by a terrible summer. Despite the cool and wet weather, we had a vegetative cycle that was at least 3 weeks in advance of 2003! Normally, when you take two extremes, it doesn’t work very well. But in the end, in 2007 it worked. It was almost as though we had a normal growing season other than the early picking date. We began on September 1st and brought in very ripe fruit with potential alcohols of between 12.5 and 13%. |
There was some sorting required though most of that was for botrytis. As to the wines, they are hyper classic, very frank and direct with beautiful transparency to the underlying terroir. There is great freshness to the fruit that exhibits a juxtaposition of elements that range from jam to citrus along with the classic raspberry. To me, 2007 is unique as I just can’t think of another vintage which it resembles." As the scores and comments confirm, I was exceptionally impressed by the in-bottle ’06s, especially the Chambolle 1er, which is as good a vintage for this wine since they first released it in 1995." | ![]() |

"The 2005 Chambolle-Musigny Les Amoureuses displays sweet aromas of peony, ripe black raspberry and cassis. A tender palate impression of subtle creaminess, ultra-refined tannins, insistent freshness of fruit, and spice and chalk nuances leads to a finish of startling clarity and purity, with evocative florality, sumptuous ripeness and ineffable mineral shadings.” (2007)
Stephen Tanzer: 91-94 points
"Brilliant deep red. Cool aromas of blackberry and menthol, with a suggestion of peppery brown spices. Densely packed and quite broad in the mouth, with mineral-borne energy and a piquant note of pomegranate leavening the wine’s almost confectionery sweetness. This fruit-driven wine really spreads out to coat the palate. Finishes with firm tannins and lingering notes of raspberry and minerals. Offers superb potential." (2008)
Allen Meadows : 91-94 points
"As one would expect, this is distinctly more elegant and refined with an airy, pure and intensely spicy black fruit nose that carries the same lovely floral note while merging seamlessly into the layered, textured and beautifully detailed flavors that possess a velvety character on the focused, mineral infused and powerful finish that is stunningly long. This saturates the palate with extract of black raspberry, which again completely buffers the sense of underlying structure though this is clearly built to age. Sheer class." (2008)
