2018 Chambolle-Musigny Premier Cru Les Carrières Felettig, Burgund

Robert Parker's Wine Advocate - 2018 Chambolle-Musigny Premier Cru Les Carrières, Felettig

The 2018 Chambolle-Musigny 1er Cru Les Carrières is showing superbly this year, wafting from the glass with notes of cherries, raspberries, spices, raw cocoa and rose hips. Medium to full-bodied, layered and multidimensional, it's lively and concentrated, concluding with a long, mineral finish. This has turned out especially well and ranks as one of the finest renditions to date of this de facto monopole (since neither of Les Carrières two other proprietors bottle it as such). - William Kelley, Feb. 2020

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

There is a pretty hint of exotic tea to the ultra-spicy nose of red currant and various dark berries. The mouthfeel is once again super-sleek with excellent intensity and minerality while exuding a highly beguiling inner mouth perfume that adds to the appeal of the linear, delineated and sneaky long finish. This beauty is sufficiently firm that it should amply reward extended keeping. - Allen Meadows, Jan. 2020

Vinous - 2018 Chambolle-Musigny Premier Cru Les Carrières, Felettig

The 2018 Chambolle-Musigny Les Carrières 1er Cru has a backward, almost surly bouquet at the moment, featuring dark berry fruit, hints of licorice and cedar notes. The medium-bodied palate offers sappy red fruit, quite succulent and fleshy, with blueberry, black currant and a light sprinkling of white pepper on the finish. Good persistence here. Impressive. - Neal Martin, Jan. 2020
