($100, Kobrand): The seductive combination of suaveness and depth is what accounts for the popularity, and hence, price of wines from Chambolle-Musigny.  Jadot’s 2011 Chambolle-Musigny Les Baudes has all the mineraly underpinning and glossy patina you’d expect from a premier cru from this esteemed village.  Despite its depth, it has a paradoxical delicacy that adds to its appeal.  Similar to Jadot’s premier crus from Savigny-lès-Beaune and Pernand-Vergelesses, this one from Chambolle-Musigny is remarkably forward and approachable.  Unlike the more prized wines from the 2009 and 2010 vintage, this 2011 Chambolle is attractive because it does not require long term cellaring.
