Vinous (89+)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. |

Vinous - Stephen Tanzer (88-91)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. |

Vinous - Stephen Tanzer (92-94)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. |

Vinous (93)The 2011 Chambolle-Musigny Les Feusselottes is absolutely impeccable. Gracious, perfumed and light on its feet, the 2011 captures the essence of this site. Sweet tobacco, dried rose petals and crushed berries all develop in the glass. Above all else, the 2011 is a wine of perfume, silkiness and pure texture. There is so much to like here. |
