Tasting notes
The 2015 Chambolle-Musigny 1er Cru Les Feusselottes from Domaine Mugneret-Gibourg is a stunning young wine, wafting from the glass with a nose of raspberry, cherry, anise and creamy new oak that is still almost inscrutably youthful. On the palate, the wine is deep and full-bodied, more tensile and chalky than the Chaignots, with bright acidity and an irresistible purity to its fruit. The finish is long and penetrating. This will really need time in bottle to reveal its true quality, but it will be awfully hard to resist temptation.

Bright, dark red. Subtly complex aromas of raspberry, blueberry, spices, minerals and soil. Silky, seamless and concentrated, with its atypical richness leavened by harmonious balancing acidity and a musky saline element. This terrific Feusselottes shows outstanding sappy energy and a long finish featuring suave tannins, a note of red licorice and excellent rising length. This should age slowly and gracefully. (I tasted two different 375-milliliter bottles of the very deeply colored and highly concentrated 2016 Echézeaux but both of my samples finished tannic and dry owing to slightly off corks.)
(50% new oak): Dense, dark ruby-red. Pungent mineral and violet topnotes lift the aromas of black raspberry, black cherry, espresso and tropical dark chocolate. Silky, suave and relatively light on its feet, offering a lovely combination of serious fruit intensity and refined texture. A distinctly plush Chambolle but with excellent lift. Broad, suave tannins dust the entire palate on the long aftertaste.
I have a soft spot for this wine and this terroir … I adore these wines. It’s produced in the top end of the Fusselot vineyard near the cemetery. The bouquet is quite expressive and forward with lovely ripe fruit and a quite distinct Chambolle minerality. On the palate beautiful sweet fruit with a tremendous nerve and energy … it’s fresh and perfectly balanced offering a intense but delicate expression of this lovely terroir. The combination of the sweet mid-palate fruit and the expression of terroir is just magnificent. Jun 2016, www.winehog.org
