Tasting notes
The 2018 Chambolle-Musigny Clos le Village hails from a lieu-dit that's richer in active limestone than the parcels that inform Felettig's Vieilles Vignes, but it's a warm mesoclimate—just by the church—and higher in pH. Unfurling to reveal notes of ripe red berries, candied peel, peonies and cinnamon, it's medium to full-bodied, supple and fine-boned, with ripe acids and a precise finish.

Lifted, almost pine-like note over dusty strawberry and clove. Good density of strawberry balances the fair weight of quite fine tannins. Decent length. Attractive for the medium term. (TJ)
The 2018 Chambolle-Musigny Clos le Village includes 20% whole bunch this year and 50% new oak. At the moment I find that new oak quite dominant on the nose, occluding the terroir expression. The palate is medium-bodied with succulent ripe tannins, and here the new oak is more integrated. Succulent red fruit mingles with white pepper and sage toward the lively finish. Commendable for a Village Cru.
