The "Mythical" Premier Cru. Liquid Silk. In the hierarchy of Burgundy, there are Grand Crus, and then there is "Les Amoureuses" (The Lovers). Historically ranked as a Premier Cru, this vineyard is widely acknowledged to produce wines of Grand Cru caliber—often surpassing them in elegance and price.

Domaine Jacques-Frédéric Mugnier is one of the undisputed masters of this terroir. Based in the Château de Chambolle-Musigny, the domaine crafts wines of absolute purity, transparency, and grace.

The Terroir: Les Amoureuses Located just below Le Musigny, this vineyard is the epitome of the Chambolle style: intense floral aromatics combined with a texture so silky it feels weightless. It is the "feminine" counterpart to the power of Bonnes-Mares.

The Vintage: 2018 A solar, generous vintage. The 2018 Amoureuses is seductive and ripe, layering the vineyard's signature floral perfume with a core of sweet, sun-drenched red berries. Despite the warmth of the year, Mugnier has maintained incredible freshness and tension.

Tasting Profile

  • The Nose: A mesmerizing bouquet of violets, peony, crushed raspberries, and rose petals. It is perfumed and ethereal.
