Jasper Morris, 90-93 Points 

"Negociant cuvée. A little touch of sulphur on the nose. Again the fruit is largely in the apple direction. Not so much flesh from this terroir, more a question of stones with the fruit, medium bodied, some elegance and length. Good and approachable quite early. Drink from 2026-2030"

Winemaker Notes:  

"Les Baudines occupies a unique position within Chassagne-Montrachet, lying at the extreme south of the appellation (adjacent to Santenay) at the very highest point on the slope. Its position gives it slightly less exposure to the late day sun which provides this wine with raciness and fine breed rather than the more massive structure of the 1er Crus in the center section of the village. Jean-Marc owns a 0.15-hectare sliver of vines planted in 1975 and the wine he produces is always his most purely mineral-driven, presenting a cool, stony personality, moderating its sense of electricity with a subdued and elegant texture." 

Alcohol: 13.5%
