88-91 Points Allen Meadows
from <2 ha of vines in the upper southwest portion of the commune that includes some declassified 1ers from Les Baudes and Fuées A perfumed and nicely spicy nose blends notes of red berries, plum and a touch of violet. The sleek, intense and well-detailed middleweight flavors exude a discreet bead of minerality on the refreshing, moderately austere and sufficiently firm finale to warrant up to a decade of keeping. This very pretty effort will likely be approachable after only 5 or so years of keeping. *Burghound Outstanding!

I did not realize this previously, but the fine Chambolle villages bottling at Comte de Vogüé includes the domaine’s production from their small parcels in the fine premier crus of les Fuées and les Baudes, which together, comprise about ten percent of the blend. The wine has turned out beautifully in 2021, offering up a bright and complex bouquet of red and black cherries, raw cocoa, chalky soil tones, a touch of mustard seed, woodsmoke and a discreet framing of vanillin oak. On the palate the wine is bright, full-bodied, focused and complex, with a good core, lovely balance and a long, soil-driven and bouncy finish that closes with moderate tannins and lovely grip. This is a superb AC! 2031-2075.
