Chambolle Musigny 1er Cru Les Feusselottes Louis Jadot 2014

Chambolle Musigny 1er Cru Les Feusselottes, Louis Jadot, Cote de Nuits, Burgundy, France, 2014 

Grape: 100% Pinot Noir, destemmed, aged in French oak barrels for 18 months

Critic's Tasting Note: 

"The 2014 Chambolle Musigny 1er Cru les Feusselottes has a comely bouquet in the making with strawberry shortcake and warm gravel scents that gain intensity in the glass. The palate has good weight on the entry with crisp acidity, quite compact at the moment with just a little abrasiveness to address towards the finish. Give this a couple of years in bottle." Drink 2018 to 2030.

88-90/100 points, Neil Martin, WINE ADVOCATE, December 2015

Chambolle Musigny lies just north of Vougeot and south of Morey Saint Denis. There are 24 Premiers Crus and 2 Grands Crus within the appellation. The "Les Feusselottes" vineyard is situated just beneath the village of Chambolle. The soil is made of chalk and clay with a lot of hard stones. These premier cru wines have the potential to mature for at least 20 years in bottle with good storage.

Louis Jadot, Domaine and Negociant rolled into one. 165 years old in 2024. One of the largest owners of Grand and Premier Cru plots in Burgundy and one of the most reliable sources of wine from the area. Since 1996 they have made their own barrels controlling the whole process of wine making apart from the weather!
