Description
The name of the village "Chambolle" probably derives from the Celtic "cambola" (meaning fertile land near a stream, good quality soil), already known for its vineyards in Gallo-Roman times and cultivated by the monks in the Middle Ages.
"Amoureuses" means "lovers" in French. Some say that you fall in love drinking this wine, others claim that the expression "a wine that has love" is used in Burgundy to describe a wine with a beautiful bouquet... Whatever the true meaning, this Premier Cru has always been very highly appreciated, almost on the same level as Musigny, its famous Grand Cru neighbor.
The Joseph Drouhin Chambolle-Musigny 1er Cru Les Amoureuses is one of the most subtle wines in all of Burgundy! The colour can vary from cherry to ruby. A wide range of seductive aromas that can evolve from raspberry to kirsch from one moment to the next. Later, the nose can show some truffle, mushroom or woody notes and in some years musky, even animal nuances. The aromas are always restrained and elegant. In the mouth, a deliciously silky feeling, with very refined tannins. Intensity, velvety texture and lively freshness: this well-named wine is a masterpiece of harmony. The finish is very delicate and leaves an impression of supreme refinement.
This is a 1.5 liter magnum. Even tastier and has an even longer drinking window .

Wijnhuis
Joseph Drouhin was a bold and enterprising young man who hailed from the Chablis region. In 1880, at the age of 22, he settled in Beaune and founded his own wine company there. His goal was to offer high quality wines that would bear his name. His son Maurice succeeded him and set up a vineyard estate in front of the house, buying land in some excellent appellations such as Clos des Mouches and Clos de Vougeot. Robert Drouhin, who succeeded Maurice in 1957, gave the domain its current dimension and acquired many vineyards, especially in Chablis, where he was able to recognize its true potential. He was one of the first in Burgundy to introduce "culture raisonnée" (abolition of pesticides and other chemicals) and set up an oenology laboratory led by Laurence Jobard, the very first female oenologist in Burgundy. Philippe, Véronique, Laurent and Frédéric are the four children of Robert and Françoise Drouhin. They uphold the values of the house and its constant search for quality, for the enjoyment of all who have a deep appreciation for the natural elegance of Burgundy.
With nearly 90 different appellations, Joseph Drouhin offers a fascinating range of Burgundian terroirs in all their authenticity and subtle variations. Joseph Drouhin has adopted the organic and biodynamic approach. Only natural products are used in the vineyards and all procedures show the utmost respect for the soil, the vine and the environment. Joseph Drouhin's style is an alliance between character, balance and harmony. Wines intended to be drunk young are fresh and subtle; wines that are meant to be preserved take on a luscious complexity with age.
