Faiveley

One of the largest and most respected producers in Burgundy, Faiveley is now on its seventh generation and is still growing. Known for consistent quality and its huge range of appellations, this family company has it all. With each new generation comes a difference in wine making style but critical acclaim is always the same. White or red, estate or negociant, Faiveley is a winner.

Tasting Notes

BH96: This sports one of the ripest noses in the entire range with distinctly spicy notes adding interest to the admirably fresh plum and mocha suffused aromas that precede highly energetic, concentrated and big-bodied flavors that are extremely concentrated and the dry extract imparts a seductive texture to the mildly austere, balanced and hugely long finish. This is one of the most promising vintages of this wine that I have ever seen but note that this will definitely not be an early drinker as the supporting structure is more than simply firm. Rating: 93-96
WS95: Enticing aromas of black cherry and black currant introduce this silky red. As the fruit unfolds, smoke, spice and mineral elements emerge, persisting through the long aftertaste. This is harmonious and suave, with the class and complexity worthy of its status as a grand cru. So fleshy, the tannins are buried now. Best from 2014 through 2030. 300 cases imported.
