2022 Felettig Chambolle-Musigny Carrieres

Two plots one limestone one marly. Gilbert notes that he no longer gets oidium here since turning organic. 80% whole bunch. A fresh, even purple, with an interesting almost two-tone aspect. Red fruits not massive, with some oak, well stretched out. Drink from 2030-2038. 91-93 points

The 2022 Chambolle-Musigny Les Carrieres 1er Cru has a lovely bouquet that completely subsumes the 100% new oak, whilst the 80% whole bunches imparts discrete white pepper and bay leaf notes that enhance the red fruit. The medium-bodied palate is very tensile and focused with finely chiseled tannins and a vibrant, lightly spiced finish with a touch of curry leaf on the aftertaste. Excellent. 93-95 points

The 2022 Chambolle-Musigny 1er Cru Les Carrières derives from two blocks—one is 45 years old, and the other is 10 years its senior, both of which are treated with a caterpillar-tracked "chenillard" rather than a tractor. Unfurling in the glass with notions of cassis and raspberries mingled with blood orange, petals and spices, it`s medium to full-bodied, supple and seamless, with a cool and enveloping core of fruit, lively acids and a complete, harmonious profile. This is especially good this year. 92-94 points
