Deep, rich, dark cherries, balanced oak. Nice acid to back. A little bigger than I was hoping for. — 5 years ago
Chalk and lemon dust over iris petals with lipstick and active-art eraser; a reflection of tangerine, with a glint of dried apricot a tantalizing afterthought in this pink bouquet. Round mouthfeel with prickles of lemon citrus and quince extruded past clementine braiding through its pith-webbing in a flat, ruby red grapefruit and lemon orchestration. #guegen #rosé #bourgogne #pinkstuff #pinkwine #roseallday #pinotnoir #pinotrosé — 6 years ago

Excellent bottle of Les Amoureuses. The texture is finely knit, as Les Amoureuses should be, but it's more powerful than most - not the leaner, lighter, more waifish Musigny that many of them are, but rather being much closer to Musigny itself in terms of its scale, density, and solidity as well as in some of the darker gravelly flavors that figure in. The last Amoureuses I had from Frederic Magnien (2002) was too oaky, in fact my notes say the oak totally ruined the wine. Here it is not a problem at all. The wood is still present, but it's developed and aged in much the same way that the rest of the wine ages, suggesting driftwood and some earthy decay more than the simple toastiness or sugar-and-spice of young oak. — 8 years ago

Vintage 2015 / Imagine you find a vineyard with almost 50 years old Chenin Blanc and you are able to make wine from it. Frederic Mabileau must have been thrilled. This vineyard in Saumur is 1 hectare. Minerals in smell, a lot of minerals. Also vanilla (16 months en foudre). Hints of tropical fruit, hay, enormous powerful in taste with good acidity. What a joy to taste this! — 4 years ago

Deep, dark fruited nose, sweet spice notes, forest and earth. Gorgeous aromatics! Crunchy red fruit, plenty of pleasant tannic bite. Feels a bit young. — 3 years ago
