Located between Vougeot and Morey-Saint-Denis, at the heart of the Côte de Nuits, the name of the small village of Chambolle-Musigny is derived from the name of the ancient Celtic village, “Cambola”. A venerable Côte de Nuits appellation, “Les Amoureuses” is certainly the most famous of Chambolle-Musigny’s 24 Premier Crus. As its name would suggest (Les Amoureuses = the female lovers), this wine is delicate and feminine, providing a great deal of emotion.
