2022 Chambolle-Musigny 1. Cru Les Fuées Domaine Henri Felettig

The 2022 Chambolle-Musigny Les Fuées 1er Cru, which had just been racked and includes 50% whole bunches, opens wonderfully on the nose: quite minerally, very graceful, wild strawberry, cranberry and blood orange aromas. The palate is medium-bodied with sapid red fruit, fine grip, and a touch of bitter cherry lending to the natural energy of this Les Fuées. Matured entirely in new oak, I must admit that the wood drives the finish a little, but that will be assimilated with time. Great potential.

The 2022 Chambolle-Musigny 1er Cru Les Fuées is one of the firmer, more structured wines in the range, unwinding in the glass with aromas of raspberries, cherries and smoky berries, followed by a medium to full-bodied, lively palate framed by taut, chalky tannins.
