2018 Chambolle-Musigny Premier Cru Felettig, Burgund (0,75l)

Allen Meadows' Burghound - 2018 Chambolle-Musigny Premier Cru, Felettig

An elegant, pure and airy nose displays notes of red currant, cherry, soft plum and pretty floral nuances. The sleek, intense and beautifully refined medium-bodied flavors are not especially dense but I very much like the texture while the sweet-sour cherry bon bons-inflected finish is delicious. This is relatively forward and should drink well on the younger side. - Allen Meadows, Jan. 2020

Vinous - 2018 Chambolle-Musigny Premier Cru, Felettig

The 2018 Chambolle-Musigny 1er Cru is actually a blend of purchased fruit from Aux Combottes and Les Combottes, which is why there is no vineyard designation on the label. It is matured in 50% new oak with 30% whole-bunch fruit. It has an expressive bouquet of blackberry, briar, sous-bois and light black tea aromas. The palate is medium-bodied with supple tannins and a fine bead of acidity, and quite elegant in style. The supple finish is missing some mineralité, but otherwise this is very fine. - Neal Martin, Jan. 2020
