Note di degustazione
The 2018 Chambolle-Musigny 1er Cru Les Gruenchers is showing beautifully, soaring from the glass with a perfumed bouquet of sweet berry fruit, cherries, peonies and blood orange. Medium to full-bodied, layered and enveloping, it's round but lively, with supple tannins and a precise, fragrant finish. Felettig opted to use 40% whole cluster this year.

The 2018 Chambolle-Musigny Les Gruenchers 1er Cru is two-thirds purchased fruit and one-third from the domaine. Attractive rose petal and ground chalk scents percolate through the red berry fruit on the nose. The palate is medium-bodied with chalky tannins on the entry. Lively and energetic, with impressive energy on the finish, which feels slightly confit in style, and a dab of licorice on the aftertaste. Good length and good potential here.
This is aromatically quite similar to the Chambolle "1er" but with a bit more floral influence. By contrast there is better volume, richness and mid-palate density while preserving the same attractive texture that also suffuses the bitter cherry pit-inflected and finish that is presently slightly austere This is a relatively powerful wine where it is not hard to discern its proximity to Bonnes Mares.
