This beautiful wine is consistently among my favourites from this vineyard. Its deep ruby colour and reticent aromas on the initial attack make it seem un-Chambolle-like. The wine is firm and substantial on the palate, but a lovely plummy fruit with plenty of depth opens up here. In this vintage, I like the balance between the acidity of the tannin and the maturity. The wine is made from nearly a half-hectare of old vines, whose grapes are destemmed and gently fermented on ambient yeasts before ageing in cask.
A gorgeously elegant and perfumed nose is comprised by the pure essence of red cherries laced with spice and earth nuances plus a floral top note. The equally pure, lacy and attractively tension-filled middleweight flavors possess a sophisticated mouthfeel thanks to the fine-grained tannins shaping the punchy, youthfully austere and beautifully persistent finale. Textbook Feusselottes.
The 2021 Chambolle-Musigny 1er Cru Les Feusselottes is unusual in that it was cropped at comparatively normal yields. Wafting from the glass with aromas of raspberries and cherries mingled with hints of peony and spices, it's medium-bodied, supple and seamless, with melting tannins, lively acids and a saline finish.
