2017 Chambolle-Musigny Premier Cru Les Gruenchers Felettig, Burgund

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

This is also moderately toasty with its fresh nose of more deeply pitched aromas of plum, dark cherry, spice and a wisp of violet. There is both better volume and mid-palate density to the medium-bodied flavors that possess a velvety mouthfeel, all wrapped in a generous if not particularly complex finale though I suspect that more depth will develop with a few years of bottle age. - Allen Meadows, Jan. 2019

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

The 2017 Chambolle-Musigny Les Gruenchers 1er Cru, made from purchased fruit and matured in 50% new oak, has a well-defined bouquet of perfumed dark cherry, blueberry and light black currant fruit, becoming more floral with aeration. The oak here is nicely integrated. The palate is medium-bodied with crisp, crunchy tannin, a slightly chalky texture and fine delineation toward the finish. Very fine. - Neil Martin, Jan. 2019
