Tasting notes
Aromas of ripe cherries, raspberries, licorice and kirsch that are framed by a deft touch of new wood introduce Felettig's 2017 Chambolle-Musigny 1er Cru Les Fuées, a medium to full-bodied, ripe and powerful wine that's among the broader-shouldered, fleshier and more enveloping cuvées in the cellar this year. Unlike many vintages of Fuées, the 2017 should drink well with minimal cellaring.

The 2017 Chambolle-Musigny Les Fuées 1er Cru underwent a relatively late malolactic and so had only recently been sulfured. Matured in 50% new oak, this has an intense, pure bouquet of black cherries, blueberry and violets, all very natural and well defined. The palate is medium-bodied with impressive sucrosity on the entry, matched by a fine line of acidity. There is density to this Les Fuées, and the lovely saline, slightly licorice-tinged finish lingers long in the mouth. Excellent.
