Domaine Felettig | Limited 2024 Chambolles

Domaine Gilbert et Christine Felettig, Chambolle-Musigny

Established in 1965 by Henri Felettig, a vineyard worker who inherited just 2 hectares of vineyards, the domaine today is managed by his children Gilbert and Christine, along with Gilbert's daughter Pauline.  It encompasses 13 hectares, divided among 100+ parcels.

Quality has continued to rise every year. The domaine began organic conversion in 2020, and the family has carried out extensive renovations of the winery.  With steady, incremental improvements, Domaine Felettig has become an essential name in Chambolle.

2024 Gilbert et Christine Felettig Chambolle-Musigny 1er Cru Les Carrieres
• 92-94WA, 91-93JM, 90-92BH

"Attractively layered aromas of dark cherry, raspberry, spice and a top note of kirsch serve as an elegant introduction to the super-sleek, intense and almost aggressively mineral-driven flavors that also culminate in a chiseled, firmly austere and compact finale. This is definitely going to need at least mid-term keeping first." - Allen Meadows

"Originating from a vineyard site composed of both limestone and white marl soils, the 2024 Chambolle-Musigny 1er Cru Les Carrières presents an aromatic profile of black plum, iris, peony and sweet cherry, mingled with notes of raw cocoa and woodsmoke. On the palate, it is medium- to full-bodied, satiny and seamless, with vibrant acidity and refined tannins entirely cloaked in a core of red fruit. It represents a strong effort in what was a challenging vintage." - Kristaps Karklins

"From a Tronçais barrel. The fruit and oak are in equal proportions on the nose. Slightly savoury up front, then a pure red fruit, led by raspberries on the palate, before some final tannins." - Jasper Morris

2024 Gilbert et Christine Felettig Chambolle-Musigny 1er Cru Les Charmes
• 91-93WA, 91-94JM, 90-93(Outstanding)BH

"A whiff of herbal tea can be found on the aromas of black pinot fruit, spice and a plethora of floral nuances, especially violet. The medium weight flavors possess reasonable density in the context of the vintage along with solid punch and minerality while displaying fine length on the youthfully austere finale that is also clearly built-to-age." - Allen Meadows

"The 2024 Chambolle-Musigny 1er Cru Les Charmes opens in the glass with aromas of cherry, black plum, orange rind and woodsmoke mingled with licorice, followed by a medium- to full-bodied palate that is fleshy and vibrant, supported by lively acidity and exhibiting slightly more muscular, assertive tannins than other Chambolle-Musigny bottlings this year, before concluding with a long, chalky finish." - Kristaps Karklins

"The fruit exhibits a slightly greater sensuality on the nose, in softer strawberry fruit style. There is a saline touch here as well, with a firmer structure behind. From a 48 month aged fine-grained barrel. The Charmes will become pleasingly ‘digeste’ I think." - Jasper Morris

2024 Gilbert et Christine Felettig Chambolle-Musigny 1er Cru Aux Combottes
• 91=93WA, 92-94JM, 90-93(Outstanding)BH

"This is also noticeably reduced and impossible to fairly assess. By contrast, there is excellent freshness and vibrancy to the super-sleek and silky-textured flavors that display fine length on the balanced, lightly austere and stony finale. A classic Chambolle of lace and grace." - Allen Meadows

"Previously labeled Les Combottes but now renamed Aux Combottes to more accurately reflect its location, the 2024 Chambolle-Musigny 1er Cru Aux Combottes offers an aromatic profile of peony, orange peel, violet and timut pepper, mingled with woodsmoke. On the palate, it is medium- to full-bodied, charming and vibrant, displaying an elegant, perfumed profile and chalky finish. The wine derives from 70-year-old vines rooted in soils composed largely of limestone." - Kristaps Karklins

"The bouquet is more classically Chambolle with some violets tucked in to the red fruits. Vivacious, with good acidity, the oak more in the background, and fine persistence." - Jasper Morris

2024 Gilbert et Christine Felettig Chambolle-Musigny 1er Cru Les Fuees
• 92-94WA, 92-95JM, 90-93(Outstanding)BH

"Once again firm reduction prevents an evaluation of the nose. There is though a lovely sense of verve pervading the delicious and slightly richer flavors that exhibit focused power on the lightly stony, lingering and velvety finish. This isn't as refined but it's a bigger and more powerful wine that is also more structured. Very promising potential." - Allen Meadows

"Drawn from a sunny site characterized by clay-rich soils and white marl—rather than the limestone more typically associated with the village—the 2024 Chambolle-Musigny 1er Cru Les Fuées has turned out beautifully, unfurling in the glass with aromas of crushed raspberry, cherry, plum and cocoa, mingled with spice and a hint of pencil shavings. On the palate, it is medium- to full-bodied, displaying an atypical concentration and texture for the vintage, with admirable depth, ripe tannins and a long, precise finish." - Kristaps Karklins

"Three barrels from the domaine and an additional one from purchased grapes. Mid purple, with a fair concentration of succulent dark fruit, then some firmer tannins behind. The fruit quality is excellent and the flavours very persistent. This will need a little while for the oak to die back, but the potential is excellent." - Jasper Morris

2024 Gilbert et Christine Felettig Chambolle-Musigny Vieilles Vignes
• 89-91WA, 89-91JM, 89-91(Outstanding)BH

"More elegant and cooler aromas include those of red cherry, black raspberry, anise and wet stone. The sleeker and more refined, if less succulent and sappy, flavors exude a subtle minerality that adds a sense of lift to the youthfully austere and sneaky long finale. This is lovely and very Chambolle in basic character." - Allen Meadows

"In response to the season’s challenges, the 2024 Chambolle-Musigny Vieilles Vignes brings together fruit from 15 different climats this year, incorporating both estate-grown and purchased fruit. The wine reveals itself in the glass with aromas of cherry, peony and violet, followed by a medium- to full-bodied palate that is lively and ethereal, anchored by a pure core of fruit, succulent acidity and suave tannins. Maturation was carried out in 40% new oak." - Kristaps Karklins

"With individual plots such as Clos Village and purchased Derriere le Four included, the Chambolle Vieilles Vignes counts as negociant in 2024. Recently sulphured when assembled in tank. Dark ruby to purple in colour. The nose has a certain depth of fruit, fresher raspberry with good acidity on the palate. A tiny bit saline even without whole bunches. Not forceful but interesting and quite persistent." - Jasper Morris
