Domaine Gilbert et Christine Felettig Fixin 1er Cru Clos du Chapitre 2019
Pinot noir
Clos-du-Chapitre (1er Cru), Fixin, Côte de Nuits, Burgundy, France
Domaine Felettig is one of the names that Burgundy connoisseurs would rather keep to themselves. Gilbert and his sister Christine form the second generation of winegrowers on the estate, after having succeeded from their father and founder of the Domaine, Henri Felettig. Pauline, Gilbert's daughter, has recently joined them.
With a history of only 40 years, the Domaine has seen many changes from its very beginning and has expanded rapidly to reach a size of 12.5 hectares, whose 60% rented.
Production is small, quality is high, as is the demand, which is why the family's wines are rarely seen outside France.
This is another recent addition to the Felettig stable. It comes from the northern sector of the Côte de Nuits, from the commune just north of Gevrey-Chambertin. Its 300m elevation and 20% incline give it freshness and grippy precision.
