Tasting notes
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.

The 2018 Chambolle-Musigny Les Baudes 1er Cru is noticeably darker in color than the Les Chabiots even though it includes more whole-bunch fruit, at 30%. It has a well-defined bouquet of black cherries, raspberry and wild strawberry fruit plus a touch of crushed stone. The palate is medium-bodied with sappy red berry fruit, a fine bead of acidity and fine tension and elegance toward the finish. This is very well crafted.
