FEATURES
The 2022 Gilbert et Christine Felettig Morey-Saint-Denis Les Charrières 1er Cru marks a significant debut as a new cuvée for the Felettig estate, showcasing a highly successful first vinification from carefully selected purchased fruits. Gilbert and Christine Felettig are celebrated for their commitment to terroir-transparent Burgundies, and their wines, known for high quality and limited production, are often sought after by connoisseurs. The "Les Charrières" parcel, characterized by its clay-limestone soils, contributes depth and structure to this Pinot Noir.
Tasting notes for this promising 2022 vintage reveal a perfumed bouquet of black cherry, violet, sweet spices, and a hint of musk. On the palate, it is surprisingly soft and upfront, yet possesses good sinews, density, and length. Further descriptions include aromas of plums, wild berries, orange zest, sweet spices, and peony. It presents a medium to full-bodied, supple, and layered palate with a fleshy core of fruit, beautifully framed by sweet, powdery tannins. Expect a complex nose of dark cherry, forest floor, and baking spice, supported by fine-grained tannins and a long, savory finish, embodying a dry, structured, and earthy style.
Food pairing suggestions: This elegant red Burgundy is a superb match for a range of dishes. It pairs wonderfully with beef, veal, poultry, and game such as venison. Consider a classic Boeuf Bourguignon, roasted guinea fowl, or a rich mushroom and truffle pasta.
Event suggestions: This wine is an excellent choice for a sophisticated dinner party or a special occasion where a structured and elegant red Burgundy is desired. It's also a compelling addition for collectors keen on discovering promising new cuvées from respected producers. 【 A very successful new cuvée from a respected producer, offering terroir-transparent Burgundy 】
