Felettig Chambolle-Musigny 1er cru Carrières 2023 1.5L

93-96 points William Kelley (Wine Advocate): "The 2023 Chambolle-Musigny 1er Cru Les Carrières is strikingly good this year, wafting from the glass with notes of cassis, rose petals, exotic spices and orange zest. Medium to full-bodied, sensual and melting, with an enveloping core of fruit, sweet tannins and a long, mouthwateringly mineral finish, it's a terrific effort from this small premier cru next to Gruenchers. (1/30/25)"

93-95 points Neal Martin (Vinous): "The 2023 Chambolle-Musigny Les Carrières 1er Cru was matured with 30% whole bunch this year. Like other cuvées, there is a veil of reduction on the nose as the wine was due for racking. The palate is much more expressive. With slightly chalky tannins, this is perhaps the edgiest, most livewire of Felettig's Premier Crus. There is wonderful tension with impressive mineralité toward the finish. It might be less approachable once bottled, but I can see this going the distance. Drink: 2027-2047. (Jan 2024)"

92-94 points Jasper Morris, MW (Inside Burgundy): "Mid ruby purple. A clean red berry fruit with good depth. 40% whole bunches, this wine has a savoury minerality, that encourages one to salivate. An excellent crunchiness. Drink from 2030-2037. Tasted Dec 2024."

91-93 points/'Outstanding,' Allen Meadows (Burghound): "(there are only two owners of Les Carrières and Felettig is the only producer; from a .40 ha parcel; 20% whole cluster). A highly layered nose blends notes of black raspberry, anise and a plethora of floral nuances. There is fine volume to the super-sleek and almost aggressively mineral-driven flavors that also possess a highly sophisticated texture before concluding in an overtly austere and beautifully long finale. This is built-to-age and is a wine that is clearly going to need it. Drink: 2033+. (Jan 2025)
