Tasting notes

Domaine Comte Georges de Vogüé's Chambolle-Musigny Les Amoureuses, this one's really special. It's a wine that captures the essence of Pinot Noir with all its charm, especially from Burgundy. The 1991 vintage has matured over 30 years, and it's just the right time to open it now.

Remember in volume 13, when Kawaramou opened this wine as a reward for finding a wine to pair with kimchi? They described it as like a meadow full of dancing butterflies. Ichise and Laurent were also savoring this wine together.

Pour it into a glass and take a look. The rim has a hint of orange, a sign of its aging. On the nose, it's open, with aromas of cherries and raspberries wafting gently, accompanied by the floral notes of roses and violets. Tasting it, the silkiness is unmistakable, and the tannins are velvety soft. The acidity is lively, and the overall balance is spot on.

The finish is long, lingering gracefully in your mouth. This wine's complexity and depth ensure that every sip offers a new discovery, making it endlessly enjoyable. Enjoy it slowly in a large glass to fully unlock its potential.
