Tasting notes
Tasted blind at the Burgfest 2014 tasting, Barthod's 2014 Chambolle-Musigny 1er Cru Les Fuées has a pure, intense bouquet, a mixture of mainly red fruit (cherry, pomegranate and wild strawberry) all suffused with wonderful tension and mineralité. The palate is medium-bodied with fine tension, a little more density than Patrice & Maxime Rion's Les Fuées, while there is plenty of grippiness toward the finish. Maybe it does not quite have the persistence or the grace of Rion's Fuées, but it is undoubtedly a beautifully realized Chambolle-Musigny that will give pleasure for many years. Tasted September 2017.

Full medium red. Slightly high-toned scents of medicinal cherry, minerals, spices and fresh blood. Sweet, pliant and savory, with firm salty minerality supporting the raspberry, plum, milk chocolate, truffle and spice flavors. There's nothing hard about this wine. The refined finish features firm but smooth tannins and captivating lingering sweetness.
Bright, full red. Vibrant aromas and flavors of red raspberry, crushed stone, red licorice, medicinal herbs and cinnamon suggest a powerful wine. Densely packed and fine-grained on the palate; impressively sappy and taut for the vintage thanks to its underlying minerality. Really resounds on the long stony finish, where the suave tannins are perfectly coated with rich fruit. All the elements are already in place here, but this wine should evolve positively for 12 to 15 years.
