Chambolle-Musigny Les Baudes 1er Cru Domaine Louis Jadot 2018

Wineadvocate

The 2018 Chambolle-Musigny 1er Cru Les Baudes (Domaine Gagey) wafts from the glass a superb bouquet peonies, cherries, red berries, rose petals, bergamot, white tea and rock salt. On the palate, it's medium to full-bodied, deep and layered, with lively acids and refined tannins cloaked in a succulent core of fruit, concluding with a long and perfumed finish. This is especially good this year and well worth seeking out.

Vinous

The 2018 Chambolle-Musigny Les Baudes 1er Cru has an impressively detailed bouquet of mineral-infused black fruit, pressed iris flower and light iodine aromas. The palate is full of energy, the blood-orange-infused red fruit quite effervescent in the mouth. Palpable energy and a sense of frisson toward the persistent finish. Superb.

Morris

Very dense purple in colour. The dark fruit on the nose is also quite intense, with some blackberry on the palate, then the Jadot tannins which work well here to tame the over friendly beast.
