Neal Martin, January 2020, Score: 89-91
The 2018 Chambolle-Musigny Les Feusselottes 1er Cru is under the négociant label but the vineyard is completely worked by the domaine. The wine has a clean, precise bouquet of vivacious red cherry and strawberry fruit. The palate is medium-bodied with a smooth entry, and a little lower in acidity than I expected, with a candied finish. Give it 2–4 years in bottle. 2021 - 2030

Burghound, January 2020, Score: 89-92
A beautifully airy and elegant nose is comprised by essence of dark berries and spice, both of which are trimmed in just enough wood to merit mentioning. There is both good volume and vibrancy to the medium-bodied flavors that exude hints of bitter cherry pit and minerality on the mildly warm and less structured finale. Drink 2026+

Wine Advocate, January 2020, Score: 91-93
Bursting with aromas of ripe cherries, raspberries and plums, mingled with notes of rose petals and spices, the 2018 Chambolle-Musigny 1er Cru Les Feusselottes (Méo-Camuzet Frère Soeurs) is medium to full-bodied, velvety and fleshy, with succulent acids and a ripe but lively core of fruit. Méo not only purchases the grapes from this parcel but also farms the vineyard.
Producer
Domaine Méo-Camuzet
When Jean-Nicolas Méo arrived in 1989 he had very big shoes to fill. Henri Jayer, arguably Burgundy’s preeminent vigneron, had managed the domaine for the previous four decades under a share-cropping agreement with the Méo family. Since then Jean-Nicolas has more than met the challenge. Following meticulous viticultural and winemaking practices he creates wonderful wines with fine levels of concentration, and today, almost three decades since his ascension, it ranks in the upper echelons of the Burgundy firmament. The majority of wines are red, ranging from Bougogne Rouge up to their ultra-famous Cros Parantoux and outstanding Richebourg. But Jean-Nicolas also makes a miniscule production of white wine. He began planting the Chardonnay for his Clos St. Philibert on steep slopes overlooking Nuit St. Georges over 25 years ago from carefully selected Chardonnay clones. Domaine Méo-Camuzet has expanded its line of 'vins de négoce' in recent years. These wines are bottled under the 'Méo-Camuzet Frères et Soeurs' label.
Region
Chambolle Musigny
The wines of Chambolle Musigny are like no other. They can be superbly delicate, yet mindblowingly complex. Of all the northern Burgundy appellations, they are the most ethereal, and as a result the most feminine. Most of the Chambolle Musigny vineyard area is encompassed in its Village and Premier Cru appellations including the robust Beaux Bruns, the splendidly mineral Le Cras and the poised yet powerful Les Amoureuses. It produces only two Grand Crus - the round and rich Bonnes Mares which it shares with Morey St. Dénis, as well as what could be described as the Stradivarius of grand crus, Musigny.
