2014 Nuits Saint-Georges Domaine Henri Felettig

The 2014 Nuits-Saint-Georges Village, completely destemmed and matured in 50% new oak, has a well-defined, crisp and focused bouquet -- perhaps the best of Felettig's village crus thanks to its mineral core. The palate is well balanced with crisp acidity, gently gripping in the mouth with black cherries and cassis fruit on the tightly wound finish, which will require three or four years to soften. But I like the style of this wine, even if I might have just tweaked that new oak downward a little.
