2022 Jadot Chambolle Musigny 1er Cru Les Fuees

James Suckling

In stock

A powerful yet floral Premier Cru Burgundy from the famous terroir of Chambolle Musigny. The stoney, lime-rich Les Fuees is regarded as a baby brother to its famous Grand Cru neighbour, Bonnes Mares. With east-facing aspect giving deep colour, power and structure akin to top Crus like Vosne-Romanee, this vicinity also compares to Volnay in elegant floral expression. Thus something of a holy grail -- integrating both masculine and feminine Burgundy attributes -- the 'Fuees' costs relatively little for one of the region's most complete and rewarding cellaring styles.

$265.00 in mixed 6+ or $295.00 per bottle

Its Origins

In Burgundy’s Côte d’Or, where the integrity of the producer is often more important than a renowned appellation or vineyard, Maison Louis Jadot is one of the most venerable, most trusted and revered wine houses. Jadot’s winemaking team, now led by Technical Director Frédéric Barnier, has maintained a balance of tradition and technology in winemaking that allows Jadot’s wines to express the subtle differences between terroirs that are the essence of fine Burgundy. Though officially retired in 2013, esteemed winemaker Jacques Lardière continues to work in an advisory role and on special projects. Founded in 1859, the house has grown through a long-term policy of acquisition or management of exceptional vineyard lands and owns 528 acres of vineyards, including nearly 280 acres of the Cote d’Or’s most prestigious Premier and Grand Cru plots.

What The Critics Say

96/100 James Suckling

"This big and at first subtle wine opens with fragrant flowers, ripe plums and cinnamon, fills the palate with richness on a full body, but then tightens up on the finish to show it has the structure to age well. Outstanding wine to drink now if you must, but better to save until at least 2028."

92-96/100 Inside Burgundy, Jasper Morris

"Frederic Barnier notes that Fuees 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 2030 - 2037

92-94/100 Vinous, Neal Martin

The 2022 Chambolle-Musigny Les Fuees ler Cru, which Frederic Barnier said suffered less during the growing season, is a conspicuous step up in complexity from the Les Baudes: much more mineralite 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." Drink 2026 - 2048
