92-94 points Antonio Galloni (Vinous): "The 2012 Chambolle-Musigny Les Feusselottes is gorgeous in this vintage. Bright floral notes and sweet spices meld into a core of expressive dark red fruit in a racy, sumptuous wine loaded with class and personality. Clean saline notes give the wine its energy and drive. With time in the glass, the Feusselottes turns explosive as the flavors seem to open up with gorgeous purity and class. Cecile Tremblay used 70% whole clusters here. I can't wait to taste the 2012 from bottle. This is a fabulous showing. Drink: 2017-2032. (Jan 2014)"
93+ points John Gilman (View From the Cellar): "Cecile Trémblay’s father split this plot of Feusselottes with Dr. Georges Mugneret back in 1985, so the two domaines’ parcels of vines lie right next to each other in the vineyard. The 2012 has turned out beautifully well, delivering a deep and very classic aromatic constellation of plums, black cherries, cocoa, a beautiful base of soil, violets and a nice touch of nutty new wood. On the palate the wine is deep, full-bodied and very, very pure, with a great core, impeccable focus and balance, ripe, velvety tannins and a very, very long, youthful and vibrant finish. This is going to be a beautiful bottle of Feusselottes. 2020-2050. (Nov/Dec 2013)"
90-93 points/'Outstanding,' Allen Meadows (Burghound): "(from a .5 ha parcel that was originally purchased with Dr. Georges Mugneret and divided in half; 70% whole clusters). A beautifully layered nose of black raspberry, cassis, spice and floral scents introduces detailed and energetic middle weight flavors. There is a super fine grain to the shaping tannins that accentuate the sense of refinement and the intensely mineral-driven, balanced and lingering finish. This too is excellent. Drink: 2022+. (Jan 2014)"
92 points Neal Martin (Wine Advocate): "Tasted blind at the annual "Burgfest" tasting in Beaune. The 2012 Chambolle Musigny 1er Cru Les Feusselottes from Cecile Tremblay has a lot of reduction on the nose, rather animally and meaty although there remains fine delineation and focus. The palate is medium-bodied with grainy tannin and good acidity. There is still some reduction but there is a good wine underneath here. It sits comfortably between rusticity and modernism, but it will need time to shake off that reduction. Drink: 2017-2030. (Oct 2015)"
