The 2022 Chambolle-Musigny Les Fuées 1er Cru, which Frédéric Barnier said suffered less during the growing season, is a conspicuous step up in complexity from the Les Baudes: much more mineralité and precision, far more terroir expression. The palate is medium-bodied with saturated tannins, the concentration effortlessly offset by the spine of acidity. It’s quite spicy as it fans out on the finish. Excellent.
This is also quite cool and fresh as well as a bit more elegant on the mix of red and dark currant, exotic tea and violet-scented nose. The sleek, intense and succulent medium weight flavors coat the palate on the lingering and balanced finale that is almost aggressively mineral-driven. This is also very lovely with fine development potential though I underscore that patience is advised here as well.
Frédéric Barnier notes that Fuées does not suffer in the dry years whereas the clay in Baudes can block the water supply. A clear pure crimson purple. The nose has charm and elegance with fruit on the palate better balanced than Baudes. It is not a hugely demonstrative wine, but there is a coherent elegance throughout. Drink from 2030-2037.
