(91+) The 2011 Chambolle-Musigny “les Fuées” from Maison Louis Jadot is superb, jumping from the glass in a complex and classy nose of cherries, red plums, coffee, herb tones, a fine signature of soil, woodsmoke and a touch of vanillin oak. On the palate the wine is pure, full-bodied and deep at the core, with lovely elegance and focus, moderate, suave tannins and excellent focus and grip on the very long and classy finish. Normally this is a significant step up from the Sentiers in the cellars, but this year the gap is a bit closer, due to the polish the vintage has wrought on the Sentiers. A fine bottle of les Fuées in the making. (Drink between 2020-2045)
