Score 95-97/100 · David Schildknecht, Wine Advocate, Jun 2007

Both this year’s Bonnes Mares and the Jadot 2005 Musigny were fermented entirely with whole clusters. The latter exhibits a remarkable nose of black raspberry, kirsch, vanilla, incense, jasmin, as well as diverse mysterious forest floor and scintillating floral eminences. Incredibly rich and mouth-coating, it delivers a fabulously long finish of distilled fruit intensity and velvety richness, yet with face-slapping freshness and palpable chalkiness. Brown spices, flowers, and mineral nuances ride a crest of pure, sweet, positively viscous fruit, completely burying the wine’s tannins. Don’t get your hopes up: only around 50 cases of this will be bottled.

Good full red-ruby. Black fruits, tar and minerals on the nose. Rich, chewy and sweet, with lovely inner-palate energy. Has more life than many of the village Chambolles I tried in November. Lardiere describes this one as "mostly a Jadot vinification." (I slightly preferred this wine to a leaner and more tannic Vosne villages that was not vinified by Jadot.)
