Domaine Bertheau, Chambolle-Musigny Les Amoureuses 2010

The Amoureuses 2010 from Francois Bertheau gorgeous and enjoyable wine in the making. I tasted this from cask in the summer of 2011 where it showed a very fine promise … and I’m certainly not disappointed. In the nose layers of lovely sweet red fruit – strawberries, red currant and pomegranate – spiced with a refined minerality. On the palate airy red fruit delicately balanced and graced with the lovely minerality from the fantastic Amoureuses terroir. Not a big and dense wine, but the length and the underlying power is newertheless quite impressive in a refined and understated way. A beautiful wine … lightfooted, airy, filigree and a true pleasure.
