Domaine Felettig Chambolle Musigny Vieilles Vignes 2020 75cl

Tasting Note

"The 2020 Chambolle-Musigny Vieilles Vignes comes from 50-year old vines from a number of small parcels. It has plenty of cranberry and wild strawberry fruit on the nose, very vivacious with a touch of crushed stone underneath. The palate is medium-bodied with crunchy tannins, fine grip and volume with Morey-like structure on the finish. Very fine."90-92 Points Neil Martin

Producer

If any domaine has made more dramatic progress over the last handful of vintages, we would be very surprised. Why? Quite simply, Gilbert Felettig was dissatisfied with his 2009s, which he found over ripe and excessively oaky. He therefore set about changing everything. Henri Felettig, a former vineyard worker, founded this domaine in 1974. His children Gilbert (viticulture and vinification) and Christine (commercial) joined him in 1993 and now run this 12.5 hectare domaine, which comprises some 100 individual parcels! Viticulture is now organic, with no use of herbicides or insecticides, their vines are mostly old (40-50 years) and everything is harvested by hand. Following a rigorous selection, during which the grapes are sorted in both the vineyard and cuverie, they then undergo a 5-7 day cold maceration at 10°C prior to fermentation and a three week cuvaison.
