Domaine Felettig

Chambolle-Musigny

Meet the producer


Henri Felettig started his journey in 1965 with 2 hectares of vineyards inherited from his parents. Initially, these grapes were sold to the local cooperative, but from the vintage of 1969, he decided to produce his own wine. 

From 1973, Henri and Reine expanded their vineyard area. They acquired and leased additional parcels of land, steadily expanding their vineyard to 9 hectares in 20 years. 

In 1993, a significant shift occurred as a partnership was formed between Henri, Reine, and their children, Christine and Gilbert.

This transformed the operation into a family-run winery, ensuring the estate’s heritage. 

Their vineyards now cover 13 hectares, with a commitment to sustainable practices. Their estate produces acclaimed Burgundy wines, including appellations like Vosne-Romanée, Nuits-Saint-Georges, as well as Premier Crus such as Les Carrières, Les Lavrottes, and Les Charmes. 

The Estate’s philosophy


Domaine Felettig believes in keeping things simple. 

Therefore, they work diligently throughout the year in their vineyard to obtain the best possible grapes, in order to intervene as little as possible during the winemaking process. 

The grapes are harvested after rigorous sorting and go through cold pre-fermentation maceration for 6 to 7 days, depending on the vintage and appellation. 

Then, fermentation begins slowly and lasts for around ten days.

Throughout, they control the temperature at each stage of fermentation to best manage the process. Additionally, on a daily basis, they perform gentle punch-downs and pump-overs to extract the best from the Pinot Noir. 

Following this step, after pneumatic pressing, the wine flows directly by gravity into barrels and will be aged for 14 to 18 months depending on the appellation. Carefully selected for each wine, the barrels come from cooperages like François Frères, Remond, or Rousseau. Typically, they use 50% new oak barrels for Premier Crus and Grand Crus, and 30% for Village wines, but this can change.
