Robert Parker's Wine Advocate, January 2022

(92 - 94 points) The 2020 Chambolle-Musigny 1er Cru Les Baudes (Domaine Gagey) unwinds in the glass with aromas of sweet berries and plums mingled with hints of orange rind and licorice. Medium to full-bodied, it's...

Burghound, April 2022

(90-93 points) More reserved though still quite pretty aromas of various red berries, spice and a floral top note complement well the bigger-bodied and more powerful medium-bodied flavors that possess a suave and rounded...

Decanter, May 2021

A typical Chambolle, perfumed with generous, bright raspberry fruit and some lovely spice notes. The texture is light and fresh, yet there is enough body to make the round, supple finish linger on the palate. Just below...

Jasper Morris Inside Burgundy, November 2021

(90-92 points) Fine deep crimson colour, the thicker style of a Morey-side Chambolle, both on the nose and the palate. Quite firm tannins, a fair acidity and a mixed dark fruit which returns behind. Sound, though some...

Vinous, December 2021

(90-92 points) The 2020 Chambolle-Musigny Les Baudes ler Cru is much more backward compared to the Feusselottes, touches of pencil box and loam infusing the dark berry fruit. The palate is medium-bodied with supple...

The 2020 Louis Jadot Gagey Chambolle Musigny les Baudes is a Pinot Noir from the renowned Burgundy region in France, specifically the Cote de Nuits sub-region and Chambolle Musigny appellation. This wine, produced by Louis Jadot, holds a 13.0% alcohol content and is sealed with a cork closure.

This wine has garnered favorable reviews from several notable wine critics. Robert Parker's Wine Advocate rated it between 92 and 94 points. The review notes that the wine "unwinds in the glass with aromas of sweet berries and plums mingled with hints of orange rind and licorice. Medium to full-bodied, it's lively, deep and concentrated, with ample reserves of ripe, powdery tannin and a long, resonant finish" (Robert Parker's Wine Advocate, 1/21/2022).

Jasper Morris from Inside Burgundy gave it a score between 90 and 92 points. He describes it as having a "fine deep crimson colour" and notes that it is "the thicker style of a Morey-side Chambolle, both on the nose and the palate." He also mentions the presence of "quite firm tannins, a fair acidity and a mixed dark fruit which returns behind," although he suggests that "some other wines offer more joy" (Jasper Morris Inside Burgundy, 11/1/2021).

Decanter awarded the wine 93 points, praising it as a "typical Chambolle" with "generous, bright raspberry fruit and some lovely spice notes." They further describe the texture as "light and fresh, yet there is enough body to make the round, supple finish linger on the palate." Decanter highlights that "Les Baudes is among the top rank of premier crus in Chambolle," noting that the 0.27ha parcel farmed by Jadot is the property of Domaine Gagey. They recommend drinking it between 2025 and 2040 (Decanter, 5/23/2021).

Vinous, represented by Neal Martin, also rated the wine between 90 and 92 points. He describes it as "much more backward compared to the Feusselottes," with "touches of pencil box and loam infusing the dark berry fruit." Martin finds the palate to be "medium-bodied with supple tannins, fleshy, quite sweet and pastille-like on the finish," although he mentions it "just misses the backbone of other Premier Crus" and suggests it might be "more for early drinking" (Vinous, 12/1/2021).

In summary, the 2020 Louis Jadot Gagey Chambolle Musigny les Baudes is a well-regarded Pinot Noir, praised for its vibrant fruit, firm structure, and long finish, though some reviewers note it may be outshone by other Premier Crus.
