  Tasted blind with monthly Winos group. TS believes this bottle was a gift to him from JH, The Nicest Guy in the World and Burgundy expert.
  
  Full, black and red fruits, totally awesome, unbelievable palate. For serious drinkers as it is not a "blow you away" wine but one to sip and sniff over time. Gorgeous nose, complex, still young. No one could believe this was a 2011. Another Wow Felettig wine. Stunning.
  
  Received 1 of 6 first place, and 2 of 6 second place votes in flight with 2011 Felettig Chambolle-Musigny Combottes (94 from me); 2002 Fred Magnien Chambolle-Musigny Charmes (95+); 2016 Le Moine Chambolle-Musigny Les Haut Doix (93); and 2005 D. Laurent Clos de la Roche (94, was supposed to be all premier crus, but…). The three Chambolles were wonderful. Wines were quite different but pretty much at the same level from a points awarded by me perspective. I voted for current pleasure in drinking and not future potential. By votes it was the Magnien, then a tie for the Felettig and the Laurent, and the le Moine last. All of these wines will cellar well for at least another decade and both the 2016 le Moine and the mighty 2005 Laurent Clos de la Roche need another 10-15 years.

  a bit rigid still; I would give this some time as there is still some oak influence and some tough tannins on the back. Still this opens up quite nicely and has some of the lush/softness of Les Combottes. Good ripeness and richness in this more challenging vintage! 92.

  Floral nose,light color, raspberry and some cassis. Not an outstanding burgundy, but tasty light, and went well with duck confit and pork filet

  PopnPour, tasted over 1 hr
  -pretty med dark red with purple
  -expressive warm barrel spice
  -med/med+ acidity gives a crunchy tartness on the back end, med/med- weight creamy stylish sweet liqueur-like dark cherry fruit with a cherry pit bitter note, finishes with med/med- tannins that seem to be at least partially from the oak
  -stylish and reminiscent of Mugneret-Gibourg however leans a bit more on the New World end of the spectrum with a sweetness and oak signature that in my opinion is a bit too prominent

  Crunchy red berries, mulberry, with Asian spice, sandalwood and forest floor. Acid and mild tannin with a medium finish (could be longer but fruit and earth layers compensate).
