Tasting notes
The 2017 Chambolle-Musigny Les Baudes 1er Cru has an airy, well-defined, transparent bouquet that is more feminine and refined than the Les Sentiers. The palate of sappy red fruit is medium-bodied and harmonious, offering fine acidity and ample red currant and cranberry fruit toward the finish. This is one of the best Premier Crus that I tasted from Jadot this vintage.

The 2017 Chambolle-Musigny 1er Cru Les Baudes (Domaine Gagey) opens in the glass with a youthfully reticent bouquet of red cherries, raspberries, licorice and spices. On the palate, the wine is medium to full-bodied, fleshy and nicely concentrated, with good depth at the core underpinned by juicy acids and fine, chalky tannin. This is typically one of the finest premiers crus in the Jadot range, and this year's rendition is no exception.
Cask sample. Rich, sweet nose. Crystallised cherries this time. With some real depth. Massive breadth of fruit on the end. This may not be the subtlest 2017 red burgundy but I don't think anyone will be disappointed. Quite massive for burgundy. (JR)
About the producer
Louis Jadot is arguably the most consistent négociant house in Burgundy. It has managed to straddle both the entry-level and fine wine market, while retaining respect in both.
