Chambolle-Musigny 1er Cru

"Les Feusselottes"

This Chambolle-Musigny 1er Cru cuvée originates from a plot of 0.17 hectares in the lieu-dit "Les Feusselottes". The soils are primarily composed of limestone and clay. Fifty per cent of the grapes are fermented with whole bunches.

The yield is around 35 hectoliters per hectare. The vines were planted in 1955/56, resulting in very small berries producing concentrated juice. On average, the yield is 40 hectoliters per hectare, producing approximately 1000 bottles annually.

Domaine Felettig

Chambolle-Musigny

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, and Nuits-Saint-Georges, as well as Premier Crus such as Les Carrières, Les Lavrottes, and Les Charmes. 

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.
