However, the surviving bunches were highly concentrated, resulting in a rare bottle that lacks the hardness of the calcareous minerals found in other cuvées, and instead boasts a more elegant and expansive aroma.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eTasting Notes\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe appearance is a transparent, bright ruby color. The aroma features notes of red roses and peonies, followed by fresh fruit characteristics of raspberry and red cherry, distinguishing it from other vintages with a more elegant and expansive bouquet. The palate begins lightly, while ripe, fine tannins gradually build in intensity, creating layers of sustained finish rather than sheer power. The astringency is smooth, and the acidity is fresh, tightening the overall structure. It is still young, with the potential to develop further complexity with 5-8 more years of aging.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eFood Pairing\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003eRoasted duck breast with berry sauce\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003ePan-seared veal with truffle flavor\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003eCreamy stew of mushrooms and chestnuts\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eCultivation \u0026amp; Vinification\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003eProducer: Domaine de la Pousse d'Or (Volnay, managed by Patrick Landanger since 1997)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003eLes Amoureuses is located on the upper part of an east-facing slope bordering Musigny, with soil composed of red clay and fractured limestone.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003eBiodynamic methods are employed, with regular vineyard cultivation without pesticides or herbicides.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003eGrapes are hand-harvested in small baskets, followed by three sorting passes at the winery.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003eDestemming percentage is adjusted between 75-100% depending on the vintage.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003eIn 2021, a longer-than-usual cold maceration of 10-12 days was performed to aid color extraction.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003eAfter an average of 21 days of cuvaison, the wine is aged in French oak barrels (approx. 30% new oak), with barrel aging lasting approximately 12 months, and total aging on lees for 16-18 months.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003eNatural malolactic fermentation (late), no fining or filtration, gravity-fed racking and bottling.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003e2021 is a rare vintage with a significant reduction in yield across Chambolle village due to spring frosts.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eGrape Variety\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e100% Pinot Noir\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eAlcohol Content\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eRating\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eProduct Information\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003eVolume: 750ml\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003eType: Red, Medium-bodied\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003eOrigin: France \/ Burgundy \/ Côte de Nuits \/ Chambolle-Musigny 1er Cru\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003eProduct Code: C21R18010\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Secret Cellar","offers":[{"title":"750ml","offer_id":50126740979989,"sku":"C21R18010","price":91882.0,"currency_code":"JPY","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/cepages-wines.com\/en\/products\/chambolle-musigny-1c-les-amoureuses-dom-de-la-pousse-dor-2021","provider":"Cépages Wines | セパージュ ワイン","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
