Tasting notes
The 2010 Chambolle-Musigny Les Baudes shows the more masculine, virile side of Chambolle in its dark fruit, menthol and spices. Deep layers of fruit continue to unfold as the wine sits in the glass, all supported by firm yet well-integrated tannins. A long, impeccable finish rounds out this stellar Chambolle. In 2010 the Baudes is flat-out great. Baudes lies just below Bonnes-Mares and a certain similarity to the wines from that great side is evident in the structural profile.

Very vibrato nose. Very sweet and chestnuts. Thick and satisfying even if very slightly soupy. (JR)
(cropped at 30 hectoliters per hectare, but then Barthod's yields were generally down 40% from 2009 levels): Good deep red. Pure aromas of black cherry and licorice are lifted by pungent minerality; smells concentrated. Then dense, sappy, dry and uncompromising; classic, minerally and well-balanced, with excellent purity and intensity of fruit. Conveys a small-berry character and an impression of thick skins. Finishes with strong tannic structure and a suggestion of chocolatey ripeness.
