Anne et Herve Sigaut Chambolle Musigny les Fuees 1er Cru 2019 (1.5L)

93 JM / 91 BH / 91 WA

Fuees is a top Chambolle Musingy Vineyard - an extension of the same slope as Bonnes Mares, which it borders to the southwest.

Pure mid purple with a heavenly fruit on the nose, and very little wood. Gains in suavity in the mouth, with both generosity and a fresh framework, light orange peel and some floral notes.—Jasper Morris, Inside Burgundy

Tasting note: A more elegant and spicier nose is notably ripe yet agreeably fresh nose of dark raspberry, sandalwood and a whiff of exotic tea. The sleeker and more refined medium weight flavors possess excellent vibrancy and detail while terminating in a saline-inflected, palate coating and lingering finish. This is on the riper side for Fuées, but the balance holds in well. Outstanding. –Allen Meadows, Burghound

The 2019 Chambolle-Musigny 1er Cru Les Fuées has turned out well, offering up inviting aromas of plums, orange rind and raspberries, complemented by subtle hints of violets and spices. Medium to full-bodied, sensual and enveloping, it's supple and charming, with a fleshy core of fruit, succulent acids and melting tannins.—William Kelley, The Wine Advocate
