2023 French Domaine Faiveley Wine

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

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

The 2023 Puligny-Montrachet 1er Cru Champ Gain has turned out nicely offering up aromas of pear freshly baked bread and toasted nuts followed by a medium to full-bodied satiny and textural palate concluding with a long saline... Read More
