The Chambolle-Musigny "Vieilles Vignes" cuvée is crafted from a blend of around twenty plots, all situated within the Chambolle-Musigny Village appellation area, covering approximately 3 hectares. One-third of the grapes are fermented with the whole bunches, and one-third of the wine is aged in new wood barrels.

This wine is medium to full-bodied, offering a generous and velvety texture, with a pure and juicy fruit core, vibrant acidity, and a lingering mineral finish. It exudes elegance and harmony. On average, the yield is about 40 hectoliters per hectare, resulting in an annual production of approximately 7000 bottles.

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.
