Tasting Note

"The 2020 Vosne-Romanée Village is a blend of two parcels of Les Chalandins and Aux Jachées, next to Bizot, and contains 90% whole bunch this year. This was a little reduced on the nose, though the palate is expressive with bold black cherry and raspberry fruit, fine acidity with impressive structure on the finish. This will deserve 4-5 years in bottle." Neal Martin

Producer

If any domaine has made more dramatic progress over the last handful of vintages, we would be very surprised. Why? Quite simply, Gilbert Felettig was dissatisfied with his 2009s, which he found over ripe and excessively oaky. He therefore set about changing everything. Henri Felettig, a former vineyard worker, founded this domaine in 1974. His children Gilbert (viticulture and vinification) and Christine (commercial) joined him in 1993 and now run this 12.5 hectare domaine, which comprises some 100 individual parcels! Viticulture is now organic, with no use of herbicides or insecticides, their vines are mostly old (40-50 years) and everything is harvested by hand. Following a rigorous selection, during which the grapes are sorted in both the vineyard and cuverie, they then undergo a 5-7 day cold maceration at 10°C prior to fermentation and a three week cuvaison.
