Henri Felettig, a former vineyard worker, founded this domaine in 1974. His children Gilbert (viticulture and vinification) and Christine (commercial) joined him in 1993 and now run this 12.5 hectare domaine, which comprises some 100 individual parcels! Viticulture is now organic, with no use of herbicides or insecticides, their vines are mostly old (40-50 years) and everything is harvested by hand. Following a rigorous selection, during which the grapes are sorted in both the vineyard and cuverie, they then undergo a 5-7 day cold maceration at 10°C prior to fermentation and a three week cuvaison. Gilbert is now far gentler in terms of frequency and intensity of pigeage, which is borne out by the precision and purity of their wines. They then see between 30% new oak in the case of the village wines and 50% for the premier crus, before being bottled unfined and unfiltered.

Domaine Felettig Chambolle-Musigny 1er Cru Carrieres 2022
13% abv
from a small plot at “Les Carrieres” with an area of 0.40 Hectares. The soil consists of a thin layer of clay, a feature on white marls but also on very dense calcareous rock. The altitude is about 300 meters, and the plot is located at half-hill. The exposure is to the southeast.
The average yield is 40 HL / ha, producing about 300 cases of six bottles per year.
“The 2022 Chambolle-Musigny Les Carrières 1er Cru has a lovely bouquet that completely subsumes the 100% new oak, whilst the 80% whole bunches imparts discrete white pepper and bay leaf notes that enhance the red fruit. The medium-bodied palate is very tensile and focused with finely chiseled tannins and a vibrant, lightly spiced finish with a touch of curry leaf on the aftertaste. Excellent.”
93-95 points, Neal Martin, Vinous, Nov 2023
