2022 Chambolle-Musigny 1. Cru Les Plantes Domaine Henri Felettig

A plot from the early 1950s, one new 400 litre barrel, and all whole bunch. The whole bunches give a sort of bubbly effect plus cholate, all on pretty red fruit. Very light on its feet, delicious.

There are just two barrels of the 2022 Chambolle-Musigny Les Plantes 1er Cru, Felettig's smallest cuvée, with 100% whole bunches. Those stems are neatly incorporated on the nose and barely noticeable; here, the fruit is a little blacker compared to his other cuvées. The palate is very vibrant with fine, very edgy tannins. It is plush and richer in style, with hints of fig jam toward the lingering finish. One of the most hedonistic from the Domaine this year.

The 2022 Chambolle-Musigny 1er Cru Les Plantes has also turned out beautifully, bursting with aromas of rose petals, raspberries, baking spices and blood orange. Medium to full-bodied, fleshy and supple, it's suave and fine-boned, concluding with a mineral finish. Only a single 400-liter barrel was produced.
