Among the most graceful Premier Crus of the Côte de Nuits, the Chambolle-Musigny 1er Cru "Les Feusselottes" 2014 from Domaine de la Pousse d’Or embodies Burgundian lace at its most vibrant. Nestled on an intimate 42 ares plot, southeast-facing in the village centre, this cuvée draws energy from fissured limestone soils that provide Pinot Noir with a frame of precision. The vines, managed without pesticides or insecticides, express a straightness of line, while a natural winemaking approach and a discreet élevage in oak barrels, with a low proportion of new wood, preserve the eloquence of the fruit. A measured, balanced vintage, 2014 highlights restraint, delicate grace and the persistence of a finish that stretches with majesty. The deep vermilion robe announces an aroma of gentle spice and blackcurrant, while the palate, initially compact then silky, unfolds a suave sequence of superb length. Awarded 89-91/100 by Robert Parker, this 75 cl bottle at 13% vol. is aimed at aesthetes seeking the subtle union of caress and drive in a great Burgundy.

Assemblage et vinification

This Premier Cru is produced exclusively from Pinot Noir of the 2014 harvest. The harvest, sorted with jeweller-like care, favours whole, healthy berries to preserve fruit purity. Extraction is conducted gently, like a measured infusion that captures sap and contour without harshness. The patience of élevage is expressed through carefully selected oak barrels, intended to give the wine a discreetly rounded profile without masking the terroir’s identity. The deliberately limited share of new oak defines a clear, nuanced style where Chambolle-Musigny limestone rings true—clean, precise, with that characteristic mouthfeel of the climat. This respectful approach aims for accuracy, aromatic precision and a silky texture, offering a faithful reading of the "Les Feusselottes" site.

Notes de dégustation

• Robe : Deep vermilion with a delicate sheen, clear and luminous, suggesting a lithe, well-defined substance.
• Nez : Precise bouquet of red fruits, wild strawberries and blackcurrant, lifted by soft spices. Hints of damp stone and stone fruit kernel leave an airy, noble trail, promising a well-held palate.
• Bouche : Straight attack, fine and silky frame, discreet tannins with polished edges. The mid-palate blossoms with grace between plush fruit and carved freshness, then extends into a smooth, persistent finish, an elegant Chambolle-Musigny signature.

Température de service et conseils

Serve this Premier Cru at 16 to 17°C in large Burgundy glasses to reveal its satin texture and aromatic range. A short aeration of 30 minutes in a decanter is sufficient to release the red-fruit expression and the delicate patina of élevage. Store bottles on their side, protected from light and temperature fluctuations to preserve the wine’s integrity. Mature now, this cuvée has an appreciable ageing potential and will gain complexity over the coming years depending on your tasting horizon.
