The 2021 Chambolle-Musigny Les Feusselottes 1er Cru had the highest yield this vintage, cropped at 37hL/ha. It has quite a bold but exquisitely defined bouquet with plush dark cherries, bergamot and hints of bay leaf. The palate is beautifully focused with a wonderful sappiness, perfectly balanced with a slightly candied finish. Completely seductive.
The 2021 Chambolle-Musigny 1er Cru Les Feusselottes is unusual in that it was cropped at comparatively normal yields. Wafting from the glass with aromas of raspberries and cherries mingled with hints of peony and spices, it's medium-bodied, supple and seamless, with melting tannins, lively acids and a saline finish.
A gorgeously elegant and perfumed nose is comprised by the pure essence of red cherries laced with spice, green tea and earth nuances plus a floral top note. The equally pure, lacy and attractively tension-filled middleweight flavors possess a sophisticated mouthfeel thanks to the fine-grained tannins shaping the punchy and youthfully austere if slightly short finale. This may well better harmonize but at present, it's not quite as well-balanced as the best in the range. Drink: 2031+
