Les Amoureuses is the most sought-after wine in Bertheau’s stable.
 |
Collectors aggressively hunt it down. Landing the wine in anything close to decent quantity is very difficult. Bertheau only has 0.32ha of the 1er Cru. Currently, there is one other listing for Bertheau's 2019 Amoureuses in the U.S.
I'm happy to offer Bertheau's 2019 Chambolle 1er Cru Les Amoureuses at $624.95, the lowest price in the country by a healthy margin.Â
Les Amoureuses is a site that Burgundy lovers freak out over. It's a Grand Cru in all but name. It struts a spellbinding level of refinement and ethereal complexity. There are few wines in all of Burgundy as stirring, or that reach a similar level of breeding and nuance.
Bertheau's Amoureuses represents one of the great marriages between producer and site. Bertheau's wines thrive on understatement and a walk on tip-toe elegance.
Bertheau's 2019 Amoureuses is completely stunning and delivers all of the haunting beauty, aromatic complexity, and finesse that make the 1er Cru so revered. The precision and finesse are jaw-dropping. I really like Burghound's tasting note: "This lacy effort is a ballerina in a glass."Â
It's a real luxury to be able to offer Bertheau's Amoureuses. Simply put, it is a great wine and a rarity. I'm happy to have another opportunity to offer.Â

Burghound: "An exuberantly fresh and wonderfully spicy nose freely offers up its array of mostly essence of red berries and sandalwood scents. There is a finer texture to the concentrated and overtly mineral-inflected middle weight flavors that deliver excellent length on the slightly firmer and youthfully austere finale. This lacy effort is a ballerina in a glass though one with sufficient structure and punch to warrant at least 12 years of cellaring and it may well reward more than that. In sum, this is terrific."
