2014 Chambolle-Musigny Vieilles Vignes Domaine Henri Felettig

Here too reduction renders the nose unreadable. Otherwise there is good vibrancy to the restrained and well-delineated flavors that are lacy but intense, all wrapped in a saline and stony finish. This is a classic Chambolle of refinement.

The 2014 Chambolle-Musigny Villages, a blend of some 20 tiny parcels and matured in 25% new oak, was showing quite a bit of reduction on the nose when I tasted it, though underneath were some attractive flinty, almost graphite scents. The palate is medium-bodied with fine tannin, clean and pure red and black fruit with a pleasing sense of tension on the linear, slightly citric finish that carries the new oak well. This is worth seeking out -- very well crafted.
