Chambolle-Musigny, Les Amoureuses--Vintage 1983
Côte de Nuits, Clair Dau
Levels: 2cm; one vintage tag missing
"The Chamboille-Musigny Les Amoureuses is notable for its sheer elegance and lush seductiveness-it is named appropriately in 1983. The 1983 is an extremely exciting wine to taste, and marks this domaine's return as one of the leaders in Burgundy. It is easy to start with superlatives concerning the 1983 Clair-Dau wines, certainly this domaine's best vintage since 1970. Between 1971 and 1980 this estate produced quite mediocre wines that in no way merited the price they commanded or reflected the excellent reputation this very important domaine had in the sixties. However, the 1983s were among the finest red burgundies I sampled. The wine is rich in color and extract. There was no evidence of the gout de sec or gout de moisi (dryness or musty flavors) that taints many 1983 red burgundies. It has excellent color and clean, ripe Pinot Noir aromas." Robert Parker, Burgundy Book (Jan 1990)
