Production of Les Champs Pimont Beaune 1er Cru AOP - Domaine Felettig

The vineyards of Domaine Felettig are located in the renowned Burgundy wine region, more precisely in the Beaune Premier Cru appellation. The climate is cool and continental, with distinct seasons and sufficient temperature differences between day and night. These conditions encourage slow ripening and intense aromatic development in the Pinot Noir.

The soils in the “Les Champs Pimont” site consist predominantly of limestone-rich marl interspersed with fine stony elements. This subsoil ensures excellent drainage and gives the wine its mineral character. The vine penetrates deeply into the soil, thereby producing complex, multilayered aromas.

The harvest is carried out very selectively, with only perfectly ripe grapes making their way to the cellar. The harvested fruit undergoes strict sorting, and only intact, aromatic berries are transferred to the fermentation vessels. Gentle processing preserves the delicacy of the Pinot Noir grape and prevents excessive extraction.

In the cellar, Domaine Felettig relies on traditional Burgundian vinification with precise temperature control. Depending on the vintage, the must ferments in stainless steel or wood, with a targeted maceration period to gently extract color, aromas and tannins. Regular pump-overs or punch-downs promote structure and depth without overwhelming the wine’s delicate style.

The subsequent aging takes place in barriques, some of them new, with the remainder in previously used oak barrels. This combination gives the wine a fine interplay of oak notes without overshadowing its clear fruit. During barrel aging, the wine clarifies naturally, gains complexity and develops its characteristic balance of finesse and structure.

The style of Domaine Felettig places the greatest emphasis on precision, fidelity to the terroir and elegance. Oak is used thoughtfully and in moderation to give the wine depth and longevity, while its origin remains unmistakably at the forefront. The result is a Premier Cru that delights Burgundy connoisseurs and curious explorers alike.
