2017 Chambolle-Musigny Premier Cru Les Fuées Ghislaine Barthod, Burgund

Robert Parker's Wine Advocate: Aromas of wild plums, cassis and ripe cherries mingling with savory bass notes and a touch of new oak in an incipiently complex bouquet introduce the 2017 Chambolle-Musigny 1er Cru Les Fuées, a medium to full-bodied wine with excellent concentration and an ample chassis of fine but firm, chalky tannins that was among the most reserved in the Barthod cellar when I tasted it. That reserve, however, holds great promise for the future, as this gives every indication of being a superb Fuées in the making. - William Kelley, Jan. 2019

Allen Meadows' Burghound: A slightly more deeply pitched nose that includes notes of dark raspberry and plum is at once spicier and a bit more floral in character as well. There is fine volume and punch to the dense and powerful yet seductively textured medium-bodied flavors that brim with both dry extract and an almost pungent minerality on the highly complex and beautifully persistent finish. Terrific. - Allen Meadows, Jan. 2019

Vinous: The 2017 Chambolle-Musigny Les Fuées 1er Cru has an open-knit bouquet of red cherries, kirsch, orange zest and quince aromas, with notes of tobacco and sous-bois. The palate is medium-bodied with fine tannin, touches of meat juices permeating red fruit that merges with darker fruit on the gently gripping, beautifully focused finish. The domaine’s best in show this year? Quite possibly. - Neal Martin, Jan. 2019
