2021 Chambolle-Musigny 1. Cru Les Feusselottes Domaine Henri Felettig

Protected by candles, which helped to make 30 hl/ha. There is a very strong reductive torrefaction on the nose at first. Then much purer fruit on the palate, vibrant raspberries, which you couldn’t have judged from the nose., A suave deep texture with a fresher finish. pH of the soil not too low here. Really dense long aftertaste.

(from a .17 ha parcel in the climat of Les Grands Murs). This too is firmly reduced and unreadable save for a dollop of wood influence. By contrast, there is excellent punch and minerality to the elegant, refined and detailed flavors that display excellent length on the firm, compact and moderately austere finale. This is also very much a wine to cellar for at least 5 to 7 years as it’s very tightly wound.

Exhibiting aromas of plums, cherries, orange zest and toasty oak, the 2021 Chambolle-Musigny 1er Cru Les Feusselottes is medium to full-bodied, ample and enveloping, with supple tannins and a seamless, charming profile. This is another cuvée that performs very well despite the challenges of the vintage.
