The 2014 Chambolle-Musigny 1er Cru les Baudes had a more introspective nose than its siblings; there is dark fruit here, touches of iris and cold limestone, reserved but still well defined and bewitchingly pure. The palate is well balanced with crunchy black fruit, a fine line of acidity and just a hint of spice to the otherwise strict and linear finish. There is just a tang of white pepper on the aftertaste, completing a refined and natural Chambolle-Musigny.
