FEATURES
The 2021 Gilbert et Christine Felettig Chambolle-Musigny 1er Cru Les Fuées comes from a domaine that has seen a remarkable ascent, now praised by collectors and critics alike. Gilbert and Christine Felettig, who took over in 1993, began organic conversion in 2020, underscoring their commitment to healthier soils and purer fruit. The 2021 vintage is still quite young, with significant development potential, suggesting it's a few years from its prime but has another decade of solid drinking ahead.
This red Pinot Noir offers delicate, well-judged fruit with nice balance. Expect a complex aromatic profile with earthy, leather, and mineral notes, alongside tobacco, chocolate, and oaky nuances. Red fruit, cherry, and raspberry are prominent, complemented by floral notes like jasmine, lavender, and rose, as well as black fruit, licorice, white pepper, and hints of toast, fig, and stone fruit. It presents attractive black berry fruit, a hint of licorice, delicate heart cherries, and nuances of bergamot, with a juicy, complex palate, fine blackberry fruit, well-integrated tannins, and a fresh, long finish. 【Praised by collectors, sommeliers, and critics alike, with organic conversion started in 2020.】
Food Pairing: This elegant Chambolle-Musigny pairs beautifully with delicate seafood dishes, especially those with richer sauces, as well as roasted duck or other game birds. Its balance and fruit profile also make it a good match for mushroom-based dishes.
Event: This wine is still evolving and will benefit from cellaring. If enjoying now, a 45-minute decant is recommended. It's perfect for a patient connoisseur's dinner, a special occasion where a refined and developing Burgundy is appreciated, or as an addition to a growing cellar.
