Chambolle-Musigny Premier Cru Les Baudes comes from a very old vineyard in the heart of the Côte de Nuits, directly adjoining the famous Bonnes-Mares Grand Cru. Its name is believed to refer to a former owner, “Baude”, a name derived from the Germanic given name Baud. On a gently sloping, east-facing site, Pinot Noir thrives on complex limestone subsoils, producing a wine of remarkable finesse that combines elegance, depth and a silky texture.

Appearance: Bright, vivid and luminous red.

Nose: Complex and remarkably precise, with aromas of violet, black cherry and earthy notes. With age, subtle nuances of truffle and delicate hints of game may develop.

Palate: Elegant and harmonious, with noble, fine and beautifully integrated tannins. Freshness is balanced by a delicate, velvety texture. The aromatic persistence is remarkable, leading to a very long finish with subtle notes of stone and candied fruit.

Food Pairing: Ideal with roast pigeon, duck breast, veal fillet, poultry with mushrooms, feathered game or mature cheeses.
