Gilbert et Christine Felettig, Nuits St. Georges 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.
The Burgundy Report
Tasted in Chambolle-Musigny with Gilbert Felettig, 22 November 2017.
2/3 from Premeaux – Chaillots – the rest from the Vosne side of Nuits – Lavières. “I was never happy with the individual cuvées, but they work really quite well together.”
Deep, faintly reduced. A little gas in this one, but once again a freshness of attack, dark fruit – more mid-palate tannin and a little spicy oak flavour too. Floral finishing. Good wine to keep! December 17, 2021
Gilbert on 2016:
“2016 was very complicated. On average we had 60% less volume – it was worse in the Hautes Côtes where we lost 90%. We have compliments from people who taste and I can see that we have some good wines but we had to change our style of wine, for instance there are whole-clusters used in all our cuvées – 20-100% – just to have enough volume to vinify. I don’t really know this style so well as I’m a ‘destemmer’ –
in 2014 and 2015 I had made a few tests with whole-clusters so it wasn’t a shock, but it’s been a nice discovery! I’m not a big connoisseur of whole-clusters, but give me a Dujac Malconsorts and I’ll be happy!
