Les Baudes

This wine is a bin-end, discounted by 20%.
The 2016 Chambolle-Musigny 1er Cru Les Baudes, which comes under the Domaine Gagey label, has a vibrant and fresh, rose petal-scented bouquet with plenty of Morello cherry and crushed strawberry scents. The palate is medium-bodied with fine-grain tannin, good tension even if it is just missing some complexity toward the finish, as if running out of ideas two-thirds of the way through.
Neal Martin,The Wine Advocate (winter 2017)

This vineyard is at the northern (Morey) end of Chambolle and immediately under Bonnes-Mares, where Sérafin has two parcels. The wine has plenty of bright fruit and a very positive attack, not especially on the delicate end of Chambolle, but high-quality nonetheless. Drink 2022-2027.

Christian Sérafin's Chambolle-Musigny Les Baudes is a miniature Bonnes Mares: elegant floral aromas merge into a profound and concentrated palate, seductively textured but well-structured with fruit falvours that coat the palate. This is a superb premier cru and a textbook example of  Les Baudes. Definitely recommended.

Lying adjacent to Grand Cru Bonnes Mares, on the Morey-St Denis border, the beneficial influence of limestone rock just below the surface is immediately apparent. Theres a firmer delivery, almost an underpinning of iron on the palate, held tight by vibrant minerality. Vin de garde indeed.
