Chambolle Musigny Les Fuées, Louis Jadot 2022

Frédéric Barnier notes that Fuées does not suffer in the dry years whereas the clay in Baudes can block the water supply. A clear pure crimson purple. The nose has charm and elegance with fruit on the palate better balanced than Baudes. It is not a hugely demonstrative wine, but there is a coherent elegance throughout. Drink from 2030-2037. Tasted: October 2023.

Bright red in the glass with an intense but high toned nose of cherry blossom, blueberry and roasted plum. The palate has a crisp structure, lightly grippy and saline in acidity. A wine that builds momentum with air in the glass and on the finish, there is good potential here. A lick of sweet spice from oak bolsters the fruit core for now, but this should integrate well in time.
