Tasted at the Chambolle Amoureuses vertical in London, the 2003 Chambolle-Musigny 1er Cru les Amoureuses is stocked full of bulbous red berry fruit on the nose: strawberry pastilles, raspberry preserve and a hint of honey. It certainly disguises the heat of that summer very well. The palate is sweet with kirsch and strawberry, just a hint of fig and damsons coming through with aeration. It is surprisingly saline towards the finish with a tang of Szechuan pepper on the aftertaste. Certainly one of the better Chambolle 2003s that I have recently tasted and it is drinking now. Tasted November 2015.
