Gilbert et Christine Felettig, Chambolle Musigny, Vieilles Vignes 2016
Description
Domaine Felettig was founded by Henri Felettig in 1969 after inheriting only two hectares of Burgundian vines from his parents. The grapes from these vines were originally designated to be fermented and sold through the local village cooperative. Instead, Henri opted to produce is own label, and thus the brand Domain Felettig was born. Henri and his wife Reine continued to expand their operations for the next twenty years, culminating thirteen total hectares to their name today. Their children, Gilbert and Christine, joined the operations in 1993, creating a full family-run winery. Their estates holdings stretch from Gevry-Chambertin to Beaune.
90-92 points Neal Martin (Wine Advocate)
The 2016 Chambolle-Musigny Vieilles Vignes, aged in 30% new oak with the same percentage of whole bunch, has an attractive, cohesive bouquet with clean, pure blackberry, bilberry and blueberry fruit, expressing the essence of Chambolle with style. The palate is medium-bodied with a sharp, penetrating entry, a keen line of acidity that lends this freshness and tension, and underneath the dark berry fruit a linear finish with tangible mineral tones lingering on the aftertaste. Excellent. Drink: 2020-2032. (Dec 2017)

'Outstanding/Top value'
(from 20 different parcels; from yields of only 12 hl/ha and 30% whole cluster). This too is super-fresh with its more deeply pitched nose of dark raspberry, cherry, violet and a whiff of spice. The dense, serious and unusually concentrated flavors possess good power and minerality plus strikingly good depth and length for a villages level wine. This is not a Chambolle of grace and lace but rather one of density and drive. Drink: 2023+. (Jan 2018)
