THE PRODUCER
Domaine Gilbert et Christine Felettig is a respected wine producer based in the
renowned Chambolle-Musigny appellation of Burgundy, France. Founded in 1969 by
Gilbert Felettig, the estate is now managed by his children, Gilbert and
Christine. The domaine is known for producing elegant and expressive Pinot Noir
wines that reflect the unique terroir of Chambolle-Musigny. They practice
sustainable viticulture and have a deep commitment to respecting the environment
and traditional Burgundian winemaking techniques. The wines from Domaine
Felettig are highly regarded for their purity, finesse, and the ability to age
gracefully, embodying the delicate and perfumed style typical of the
Chambolle-Musigny region.

THE WINE
The Domaine Gilbert et Christine Felettig Vieilles Vignes Chambolle-Musigny 2016
is a distinguished Burgundy wine crafted from old vines, which typically produce
lower yields of more concentrated and complex grapes. This particular vintage
showcases the elegance and refinement characteristic of Chambolle-Musigny, with
a deep, ruby-red color and a bouquet of red and dark berries, floral notes, and
subtle spice. On the palate, the wine is well-structured, with fine tannins,
vibrant acidity, and a harmonious balance of fruit, earth, and mineral elements.
The 2016 vintage was marked by ideal ripening conditions, resulting in a wine
with depth, richness, and a long, graceful finish. This wine is suitable for
aging, allowing its flavors and complexity to evolve further over time.

CRITICS SCORES
We choose our wines based on a range of criteria(seehow we choose our wines)of
which critic scores is justone. Rather than simply highlight the best score to
promote a wine, our average critic score is calculated from the scores provided
by several respected wine critics, who we follow for specific regions. They do
not represent all critic scores and, wherever possible, we try and give more
weight to more recent reviews. Where appropriate we consider market-based scores
like Global Wine Score or Wine Searcher Average scores.

As a rule, we look to offer wines that achieve a92/100average critic score or
better and frankly a lot of very good wines simply don’t make the cut. As a
high-end provider we want to reflect that positioning in the quality of wines we
offer. Such wines are only a tiny fraction of those generally on offer in the
market. We believe that an average score is a more conservative and
representative approach, but it is still subjective and only offered as a guide
to our customers, who will (and should) do their own research. We will add
individual critic scores to our website in the future.
