Louis Jadot, Chambolle-Musigny 1er Cru Les Fuees, 2018

Chambolle 1er Cru from one of Burgundy's great négociant-domaines, in the warm and generous 2018 vintage. Les Fuées is one of Chambolle-Musigny's most respected premier crus — it shares a border with Bonnes-Mares Grand Cru, which lends it a touch more weight and structure than the village's lacier sites while keeping Chambolle's signature perfumed elegance. Louis Jadot, under technical director Frédéric Barnier (who succeeded the legendary Jacques Lardière in 2013), makes a precise, restrained, classical style here. 2018 brought ripe fruit and supple texture along with enough acidic drive to keep things lifted — and seven years on, this is in a lovely first window of drinking, the perfume already in full flower while the architecture holds firm.
