The suave and opulently textured middle weight plus flavors possess a wonderfully seductive mouth feel before culminating in a mocha-inflected finish where a touch of warmth appears

revealing a wine with tons of nuance

Give it at least 5 more years in the cellar to allow the wine to further soften

Ghislaine Barthod, Chambolle Musigny Baudes other_regions_australia The suave and opulently textured(from a . 23 ha parcel of 45+ year old vines). This is one of the ripest wines in the range yet it somehow manages to remain fresh with its violet, dark cherry and plum liqueur like aromas. The mouth feel of the middle weight plus flavors is bold and powerful with plenty of mid palate concentration and muscle that is enhanced by the firm tannins and huge length. This is a classic Baudes of power and punch if not necessarily refinement. (90 93) 2025+
