The Story
Old-school Hautes-Côtes white from a serious Chambolle address. Domaine Felettig is a second-generation family domaine — Gilbert (cellar) and Christine (commercial) Felettig run the 12.5-hectare estate their father Henri founded, with parcels scattered across roughly 100 plots from Hautes-Côtes to Grand Cru. The En Vallerot lieu-dit sits in the cool hills above Ladoix-Serrigny in the Hautes-Côtes de Beaune — higher elevation, slower ripening, brighter acidity than the Côte itself. Hand-harvested, gently pressed, raised in barrel with a modest portion of new wood. The result is Chardonnay at proper Burgundy weight without the Côte d'Or price, with the mineral lift cool sites deliver. A weeknight white with weekend manners.
