Burgundy 2021 Supplement

DOMAINE GILBERT ET CHRISTINE FELETTIG - CHAMBOLLE MUSIGNY Gilbert Felettig, a former rugby player, makes a huge array of fantastic wines that we started buying in 2013. In terms of style, the wines are much like a finely balanced rugby player - a deftness of touch, poised yet muscular. This was especially true from his Côte de Beaune plots in 2020 where his Corton reached 15% alcohol - and yet was fresh and linear. His 2021s are slightly cooler and leaner whichworks very well against the winemaking style. Sadly, the yields are down significantly, with both Corton and Echezeaux at 50% of normal volumes with just 2 and 1 barrels of each. We were really impressed by the quality of the wines, as well as with the wide range of 1er Cru vineyards. Gilbert has been growing the size of the Domaine since he started, and he rents several plots which he cultivates and harvests himself, bringing his total holding to 14 hectares. Allen Meadows noted a few years ago: “I would again call to your attention that the quality at this Domaine has skyrocketed over the past few vintages and there is now an almost night and day difference relative to only a few years ago”. High praise indeed!
