Tasting Notes
Robert Parker 92
Aromas of cherries, sweet wild berries, peonies, blood orange and sweet soil tones introduce the 2018 Chambolle-Musigny 1er Cru Les Baudes, a medium to full-bodied, deep and concentrated wine with a textural attack that segues into a layered, vibrant mid-palate and finish. From a small parcel near Bonnes-Mares, this is routinely one of Lignier’s finest premier cru bottlings, and the 2018 is no exception.
Burghound 90-92
A slightly more elegant and equally floral-suffused nose reflects notes of spicy red and black pinot fruit. The caressing, round and very punchy medium weight flavors firm up substantially before terminating in a focused and sneaky long finish. This is a combination of finesse and power that should amply reward extended keeping.
