Exhibiting aromas of sweet berries vine smoke and spices the 2021 Beaune 1er Cru Clos de l'Écu Monopole is medium-bodied fleshy and layered with a cool core of fruit and melting tannins. It will offer a broad drinking window... Read More

Cask sample. One of the more youthful wines in this Faiveley presentation of 2023s so far. Fruit/acid/tannin all in balance but the tannin is still too dominant to suggest early drinking. (JR) (Drink between 2028 - 2038) By Jancis... Read More

The 2023 Bienvenues-Bâtard-Montrachet Grand Cru is lovely offering up aromas of pear orange zest and freshly baked bread framed by a deft touch of reduction. Full-bodied satiny and layered it's dense and seamless with a sweet... Read More

This is also firmly reduced and revealing nothing but a tinge of spiciness. Once again the caressing and seductive mouthfeel of the medium weight flavors is striking thanks to the fine-grained tannins that shape the wonderfully... Read More

Cask sample. Pale garnet. Pretty basic sweet lightly perfumed red. It may develop more complexity in bottle. (JR)

Lovely forward pomegranate and cherry fruit with hints of mint and violets; the texture is light and fresh and on the palate there is a distinct saline minerality: 'You smell the limestone' in the words of technical director... Read More

An unusually floral-suffused nose for Clos de Vougeot features additional nose of various red berries and just turned earth. The attractively textured if not especially dense medium weight flavors terminate in a youthfully austere... Read More

Enough wood to merit mentioning is present on the nose of spicy and ripe red and dark currant along with suggestions of earth and the sauvage. I very much like the mouthfeel of the solidly voluminous flavors that also exude a... Read More

Cask sample. Transparent ruby. Some evolution on the nose already. Lots of sweet charm and depth. Some structure drive and intensity. (JR) (Drink between 2030 - 2045). By Jancis Robinson MW 11/24

An intensely flavored red featuring cherry raspberry boysenberry and earth flavors. Firm with a light dusting of powdery tannins on the well-defined finish. Best from 2027 through 2038. 433 cases imported.

Cask sample. Some lightly mossy density here with a bit of conviction. Far from rich but very respectable and well balanced. (JR)

Cask sample. Not much nose and a bit severe. It may develop charm but at the moment it has little. (JR)

A robust and refreshing purple colour. A little burnt rubber reduction straight after bottling. Plenty of fruit here on the palate raspberry seedless plenty of energy and a very good fruit acid balance. - By Jasper Morris 11/24... Read More

Clos Rochette is a Faiveley Monopole of 5+ ha. Mid lemon and lime. The sulphur recently added as it has just been prepared for bottling knocks it back but the excellence of the wine is still clear with a lime and grapefruit note... Read More

Aromas of dark berries orange zest smoke and cloves introduce Faiveley's 2023 Mercurey La Framboisière a medium to full-bodied ample and fleshy wine that's succulent and charming with good depth at the core and a fruity... Read More

More evident wood frames ripe cool and airy aromas that are more from the dark side of the fruit spectrum. The sleek delicious and attractively vibrant flavors flash good minerality and tension both of which can be found on the... Read More

Cask sample. Still more youthful than the Porrets with sandy tannins in evidence on the end. Still fairly embryonic. (JR) (Drink between 2030 - 2042). By Jancis Robinson MW 11/24
