Tasting Notes

An ultra-elegant and pure nose plays right on the edge of reduction though aggressive swirling eventually liberates airy and cool notes of essence of red berries, floral elements and subtle spice nuances. There is a wonderfully refined mouth feel to the strikingly well-delineated and mineral-driven middle weight flavors that culminate in a mildly austere, balanced and beautifully persistent finish. This lilting and lacy effort is very Chambolle in basic character.

Score: 92

The 2013 Chambolle Musigny 1er Cru les Feusselottes is currently being raised in 40-50% new oak (but different toasting to the Nuits Chaignots). It has a very elegant bouquet, the fruit spectrum redder than the Nuits Chaignots with bright wild strawberry, raspberry and limestone scents. This is very delineated. The palate is medium-bodied with very fine tannins. There is a pleasing density here but the tension makes this feel light and fresh in the mouth, the finish long and persistent with a subtle black pepper note lingering on the aftertaste. This is just superb for the vintage.

Score: 91 - 93
