Good bright deep red. Complex, expressive aromas of raspberry liqueur, currant and musky underbrush. Dense, plump and sweet, but with good ripe acidity giving it plenty of life in the mouth. Today, the wine's dusty tannins have not yet harmonized with the wine's acids.HK$73,515.00 -

Good full red. Musky red fruits on the nose. Sweet, supple and rather suave, with raspberry and cherry flavors lifted by spice. Today I don't find the mineral cut of the best vintages, but this rather fat wine finishes with smooth tannins and very good length.HK$63,010.00 -

Bright, deep red. Tangy red cherry and raspberry aromas are complicated by high-pitched spices, flowers and crushed rock. Sweet, bright and penetrating, but with good supple density giving a seamless texture to the middle palate. In fact, this is quite creamy for the vintage, in spite of its brisk acidity. Spreads out nicely to coat the mouth on the long, perfumed, gripping aftertaste. A terrific vintage for this cuvee.HK$6,415.00 -

Full medium red. Captivating lift to the aromas of musky raspberry, flowers and white truffle.

The 2014 Chambolle-Musigny 1er Cru Les Feusselots, which saw 50% new oak, has a crisp, tensile bouquet with more volume that the Nuits Saint Georges Chaignots. There is real transparency here: fabulous definition and focus. The palate is medium-bodied with fine tannins, tensile like the Chaignots but there is a touch of more fruit that seems a little darker and denser. The finish just skips along with joy. This is superb.HK$4,610.00 -

Bright, dark red. Subtly complex aromas of raspberry, blueberry, spices, minerals and soil. Silky, seamless and concentrated, with its atypical richness leavened by harmonious balancing acidity and a musky saline element. This terrific Feusselottes shows outstanding sappy energy and a long finish featuring suave tannins, a note of red licorice and excellent rising length. This should age slowly and gracefully. (I tasted two different 375-milliliter bottles of the very deeply colored and highly concentrated 2016 Echézeaux but both of my samples finished tannic and dry owing to slightly off corks.)HK$5,055.00 -

The 2017 Chambolle-Musigny Les Feusselottes 1er Cru has a very mineral-driven bouquet, slightly earthy in style; a touch of graphite emerges with time. There is real energy here. The palate is medium-bodied with fine-grained tannins and a fine bead of acidity. A little savory compared to other crus, with a dash of black pepper on the finish. Very fine.HK$4,610.00 -

The 2018 Chambolle-Musigny Les Feusselottes 1er Cru has a beautifully defined nose of vivid red berry fruit infused with wilted rose petals and peony. The palate is medium-bodied with crisp tannins, and so harmonious that you would not guess that the fermentation did not begin until the beginning of December! At 14.2°, the alcohol is disguised, though it does seem to scalp some of the precision.HK$4,330.00 -

The 2019 Chambolle-Musigny Les Feusselottes 1er Cru has an attractive nose of shimmering red berry fruit tinged with shucked oyster shells and wet limestone/petrichor; the 50% new oak is neatly integrated here. The palate is succulent and fleshy on the entry, delivering all the rondeur you could want from a Chambolle-Musigny but with countervailing tension and spiciness toward the silky smooth finish. So pure! This will give 20–25 years of drinking pleasure.HK$4,625.00 -

The 2020 Chambolle-Musigny Les Feusselottes 1er Cru was 30% down due to the dry summer. A melange of red and black fruit on the nose, hints of sous-bois and espresso, this opens nicely with aeration but retains composure. The palate is medium-bodied with supple tannins, taut and fresh with a fin bead of acidity with a pixelated finish. Wonderful.HK$3,760.00 -
