Tasting notes
The 2017 Chambolle-Musigny Les Fuées 1er Cru has similar fruit intensity to the Les Baudes, although the oak is a little more vocal and therefore it does not quite have the same transparency. The palate is medium-bodied with supple tannin and a fine bead of acidity. This is quite strict and linear at the moment, showing good grip, although I discern more complexity and nuance on the Les Baudes.

This is solid and serious for the vintage with strawberry, smoke and floral character throughout. Full-bodied, tight and chewy with polished tannins. Chewy yet enticing. Needs time to soften. Try after 2023.
The 2017 Chambolle-Musigny 1er Cru Les Fuées (Domaine Louis Jadot) unfurls in the glass with a pretty bouquet of spiced plums, raspberries, candied peel and dark chocolate. On the palate, it's medium to full-bodied, ample and expansive, with a deep and layered core, fine structuring tannins and a long finish. This is one of the high points of the portfolio and well worth seeking out.
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.
