Gilbert et Christine Felettig, Chambolle-Musigny Premier Cru, Les Fuees 2018

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.
