92/94

Cordon-pruned, low-yielding and situated in a sunny climat, this cuvée sometimes gets very ripe, but the 2023 Chambolle-Musigny 1er Cru Les Fuées is beautifully balanced, revealing aromas of dark berries, potpourri, spices and licorice, followed by a medium to full-bodied, ample and harmonious palate.

92/94

30% whole bunches. A deeper purple colour, with impressive depth of fruit on the nose. Super concentrated dark fruit, generous yet very pure. A clean limestone crunch. More marl than limestone with good water supply from springs. More like Cras in soil profile. Gilbert notes that Les Fuées used to need picking late, but now comes early in the schedule

91/93

The 2023 Chambolle-Musigny Les Fuées 1er Cru has a slightly deeper color than Felettig's other Chambolle Premier Crus. Again, there was a marked reduction on the nose. The palate is well balanced with ripe tannins and gentle grip. There is more black fruit here with veins of blood orange and allspice. This is very cohesive on the slightly more opulent finish. Give this Fuées four or five years in bottle—I would like to see more finesse develop.

90/92

(20% whole cluster). A riper liqueur-like nose features aromas of black cherry, poached plum, anise and a whiff of exotic tea. The delicious medium-bodied flavors aren’t quite as dense though they too possess a lovely mouthfeel on the dusty, youthfully and austere yet sneaky long finish that could also use better depth. This should age well but be approachable after only 5-ish or so years of bottle aging.
