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

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

An attractively fresh and layered nose offers up notes of a variety of red berries, and in particular cranberry, plus a healthy dose of floral influences that include lavender, lilac and rose petal. The ultra-elegant if rather light weight flavors possess nice detail and vibrancy while concluding in refreshingly clean and dry in the best sense finale. This is an exceptionally pretty and attractive wine but one that lacks a bit of mid-palate stuffing. - Allen Meadows, Jan. 2019

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

The 2017 Chambolle-Musigny Les Feusselottes 1er Cru, matured in two-thirds new oak, represents the Felettigs’ smallest cuvée, at just three-and-a-half barrels. It has a very sensual bouquet of plush red fruit that becomes darker with aeration, touches of pressed iris and lavender emerging with time. The palate is medium-bodied with grainy tannin. There is a symmetry about this Feusselottes, which is supremely well focused, delivering a lot of substance and grip on the finish while maintaining freshness. The finish is slightly chalky in texture but very persistent. Very, very impressive. - Neil Martin, Jan. 2019
