The domaine is a family-run operation, managed by Gilbert Felettig and his sister Christine, who took over the winemaking responsibilities from their father, Henri Felettig. The Felettig siblings have continued to enhance the reputation of their family estate through meticulous vineyard management and winemaking practices.

The domaine owns about 12.5 hectares of vineyards spread across several prestigious appellations, including parcels in Chambolle-Musigny, Vosne-Romanée, and Echezeaux. This diverse portfolio allows them to produce a range of wines that showcase the distinct characteristics of each terroir. The vineyards are farmed with sustainable practices, focusing on maintaining the health and balance of the vineyard ecosystem.

Domaine Gilbert et Christine Felettig is particularly noted for its Pinot Noir wines, which are highly expressive and elegantly structured. These wines typically feature a fine balance of fruit concentration and nuanced earthy notes, with a delicate use of oak that complements rather than dominates the wine. The domaine’s Chambolle-Musigny wines, for example, are known for their finesse and aromatic complexity, offering floral and red berry aromatics with silky tannins.

In addition to red wines, the domaine also produces a smaller quantity of white wines from Chardonnay, which are appreciated for their purity and vibrancy. The overall approach at Domaine Gilbert et Christine Felettig is characterized by a commitment to expressing the unique qualities of their vineyard sites, with a focus on clarity, terroir representation, and the traditional elegance of Burgundy wines. The care and attention to detail by Gilbert and Christine in both the vineyard and the cellar have earned their wines a respected place among Burgundy aficionados.
