Louis Jadot Description
Les Baudes is one of the 24 Premier Cru vineyards of the commune of Chambolle-Musigny. The commune is unique in the Côte de Nuits for its soils: chalky over hard bedrock, which stresses the vines. This Pinot Noir wine is fermented in vats for up to 4 weeks, then aged 18 to 20 months in oak barrels before bottling.
Wine Advocate: 94 Points
The 2020 Chambolle-Musigny 1er Cru Les Baudes (Domaine Gagey) unwinds in the glass with aromas of sweet berries and plums mingled with hints of orange rind and licorice. Medium to full-bodied, it's lively, deep and concentrated, with ample reserves of ripe, powdery tannin and a long, resonant finish.
Burghound: 93 Points
Outstanding
More reserved though still quite pretty aromas of various red berries, spice and a floral top note complement well the bigger-bodied and more powerful medium-bodied flavors that possess a suave and rounded mid-palate that contrasts with the bitter pit fruit-inflected, robust and very firm finale. This is classic Baudes.
Vinous: 92 Points
The 2020 Chambolle-Musigny Les Baudes 1er Cru is much more backward compared to the Feusselottes, touches of pencil box and loam infusing the dark berry fruit. The palate is medium-bodied with supple tannins, fleshy, quite sweet and pastille-like on the finish that just misses the backbone of the other Premier Crus. Hence, probably more for early drinking.
