This is actually quite aromatically similar to the Charmes though with more floral elements in evidence. The super-sleek yet dense middle weight plus flavors coat the palate with sappy dry extract that deliver super length on the compact, focused and very much built-to-age finale. This too is excellent and should age accordingly. (AM)

The 2020 Chambolle-Musigny Les Baudes 1er Cru has an intense bouquet with black cherry and bilberry fruit, crushed limestone and light iris scents that is (again) extremely well-defined. The palate is very well balanced with almost saturated tannins, perhaps the creamiest texture amongst the Domaine’s Chambolles with a spicy and quite lingering finish. Pure class. Three and a half barrels this year. (AM)

The 2020 les Baudes is another absolutely gorgeous example of the vintage. The nose wafts from the glass in a refined blend of red and black cherries, plums, chocolate, a complex base of soil tones, violets, just a whisper of mustard seed and new oak. On the palate the wine is pure, full-bodied and sappy in the core, with lovely soil undertow and focus, ripe, fine-grained tannins and a long, vibrant and beautifully complex finish. Gorgeous wine. (Drink between 2035-2090)
