2017 Chambolle-Musigny Premier Cru Les Lavrottes Felettig, Burgund

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

Firm reduction blocks an evaluation of the nose. Otherwise there is good energy to the easy-going, round and delicious if light weight flavors that culminate in a dusty and if not exactly rustic finish, then one that isn't particularly refined. This is perfectly OK but not better than that for a Chambolle 1er. - Allen Meadows, Jan. 2019

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

The 2017 Chambolle-Musigny Lavrottes 1er Cru, which sees 50% new oak, was showing some reduction when I visited the domaine, though there appears to be fine fruit concentration. The fresh, vibrant palate is vivid and tensile, offering crisp, slightly chalky tannin and crunchy red fruit mixed with blueberry toward the finish. There is good backbone here, and so this will deserve at least four to six years in bottle. Excellent. - Neil Martin, Jan. 2019
