The Mugneret-Gibourg Chambolle-Musigny Premier Cru Les Feusolettes 2010 AOC 0.75l presents itself as a distinctive window onto Chambolle-Musigny, channeling the typical refinement of this Burgundian village in a wine that expresses a balance between controlled power and finesse. The 2010 vintage, produced in a year rich in maturity and slow maturation, offers a silky skin and a taut finish that promises evolution over time. The Mugneret-Gibourg producer, a family estate with deep roots in Burgundy, has built a reputation over the years based on sensitivity to terroir and meticulous attention to detail. In this area, where Pinot Noir grapes ignite with character, the winery favors an approach that enhances the purity of the fruit without indulging in artifice, preserving a subtle reserve that invites time. The winery's philosophy revolves around careful vineyard management, manual harvesting at the perfect level of ripeness, and a winemaking process that prioritizes elegance over impact. The result is a wine that displays refined density, tannic finesse, and potential longevity right from the palate, leaving a discreet impression on the palate. Les Feusolettes stands out for its subtle yet distinct texture: the aromas reveal cherry and rose petals, with notes of undergrowth, delicate pepper, and a hint of graphite that recalls the clay and limestone soil typical of this pedecouverte vineyard. On the palate, the texture is velvety, the structure supported by an elegant acidity that keeps the palate fresh, and the persistence extends into a finish that leaves traces of bitter cocoa, spices, and a minerality tinged with graphite. Within the Mugneret-Gibourg range, Les Feusolettes Premier Cru occupies a central position: it is not just a collector's item, it is a benchmark for understanding how the winery translates its terroir philosophy into a tangible presence, capable of accompanying the evolution of a meal or taking center stage in a thoughtful tasting experience. Ultimately, this 2010 vintage stands as a testament to an oenological art capable of combining rigor and pleasure, offering the public an authentic connection with Burgundy, in keeping with the STELT positioning, which emphasizes depth, longevity, and understated magnificence.
