🏰 The 2014 Burgundy vintage is recognized as a "very, very fine year" for reds. This particular wine is considered a "textbook Baudes and clearly built-to-age", with its terroir beautifully expressed. On the nose, it offers notes of dark cherry, plum, and violets, along with red and black cherries, pomegranate, woodsmoke, gamebird, dark soil tones, and a topnote of violets. A lilting nose of wild strawberry and redcurrant, nonchalant and precise, is also noted. Expect earthy, mineral, and leather nuances, complemented by red and black fruit, and floral notes. The palate delivers dense, sappy, and delicious middle-weight flavors, supported by firm tannins and excellent mid-palate concentration, culminating in a serious, austere, and impressively persistent finish. It is elegant and fresh with crisp tannins, red merging into dark berry fruit, nicely structured, understated, and with a faint marine influence. Reviewers have noted a seamless texture, excellent balance and focus, with darker fruit reminiscent of Bonnes Mares, and a great finish. It offers bright red, crunchy fruits coupled with plenty of mineral and earth, purple flower perfume, and real underlying stoniness, being precise, beautifully balanced, fine, and long. This wine is described as "borderline robust while delivering excellent complexity". 【 Textbook Baudes, built-to-age, showcasing terroir with elegance and precision 】 🍴 This elegant Chambolle-Musigny pairs wonderfully with duck, goose, and other game birds. It would also be a delightful match for roasted poultry, mushroom-based dishes, or delicate red meat preparations. 🥂 This wine is clearly built-to-age. As of May 2023, it was still a bit too young and not yet fully expressive, and in September 2020, it was noted as needing more time and being closed. It is suitable for cellaring and enjoying in the coming years, or for a serious tasting with patient connoisseurs who appreciate the evolution of fine Burgundy.
