G&C FELETTIG Chambolle-Musigny 'Derriere le Four' 2023 CASE x 6 Bottles - PRE-RELEASE

Description

'Derriere le Four' plot in Chambolle-Musigny is located on the south side of the village behind Les Feusselottes. It offers a charming bouquet of fresh cranberry and red cherry with a subtle spice of incense and liquorice root. The tannins are tender and silky with a seamless texture.

Neil Martin 93 points: "The 2023 Chambolle-Musigny Derriere Le Four comes from a parcel just behind Felettig’s maison that was partially replanted. Its separate bottling came about due to the large volume. This sees 40% new oak (two out of five barrels). The bouquet is quite complex and well defined, with its 20% whole bunch lending a discrete peppery note. The palate is medium-bodied with succulent black cherry fruit and light blueberry notes, but it has a surprising grip and structure on the finish to suggest it will give 15 to 20 years of drinking pleasure. This marks a fine debut." [Neal Martin, 01/11/2024] Anticipated maturity: 2026-2042.
