Wine Critic Reviews
Exhibiting aromas of cherries, raspberries, spices, rose petals and bergamot, with little hint of the tertiary complexity to come, the 2018 Chambolle-Musigny 1er Cru Les Fuées is medium to full-bodied, lively and precise, with a deep and concentrated core of fruit that's framed by fine-grained but youthfully chalky tannins, concluding with a precise, energetic finish.

The 2018 Chambolle-Musigny Les Fuées 1er Cru, made with 30% whole bunch and 100% new oak, comes from two parcels, one on limestone soils and the other on marn. This is one cuvée that seems a little overripe on the nose when juxtaposed again Felettig’s other cuvées. The precocious palate features blueberry and cassis fruit, although the new oak dries out the finish a little. Fingers crossed that this can support that new oak in the long term.
