2017 Chambolle-Musigny Premier Cru Les Combottes Felettig, Burgund (0,75l)

Allen Meadows' Burghound - 2017 Chambolle-Musigny Premier Cru Les Combottes, Felettig

Firm reduction. The sleek, refined and highly energetic middle weight flavors retain a lovely sense of delineation while exhibiting fine length on the stony, austere and balanced finale. This will need to add more depth but the underlying material is present such that it should occur and my predicted range implicitly assumes that it will. - Allen Meadows, Jan. 2019

Vinous - 2017 Chambolle-Musigny Premier Cru Les Combottes, Felettig

The 2017 Chambolle-Musigny Les Combottes 1er Cru comes from vines over 60 years old and sees around 60% new oak. The bouquet is more introspective and the fruit blacker than the Les Fuées, featuring blackberry and bilberry tinged with earthy, sous-bois aromas. The dense, sinewy palate is medium-bodied with supple tannin and fine acidity, though I miss the finesse shown by the Les Fuées on the finish. Give this several years in bottle. - Neil Martin, Jan. 2019
