Great purity of fruit and a silky elegance on the palate that consistently surpasses the already-elevated norm for this village. This wine is a selection of the best parcels among the 26ha Faiveley owns in Gevrey (over 30 parcels). The wines that don't make the cut are sold to other négociants; the average ripeness of the wines that do are 13% alcohol. The grapes are mostly destemmed and fermented with very little punching down before being aged in cask (20% new). (Drink between 2025 - 2040). By Charles Curtis MW 05/21

A 35000-bottle cuvée derived entirely from Faiveley's own holdings the 2020 Gevrey-Chambertin Vieilles Vignes unwinds in the glass with aromas of red berries cherries loamy soil and spices. Medium to full-bodied textural and seamless it's concentrated and vibrant with ripe tannins and a long expansive finish. This is a real success. Reviewed by: William Kelley. 01/22

Mid cherry red. Scented with red fruits and very slightly stemmy. A touch of vanilla sweetness too. Tastes more Beaune than Nuits though there's a little bit of darker spice on the finish. Extremely fresh and the tannins are fine-grained smooth polished. (JH) (Drink between 2025 - 2030)/ By Julia Harding MW 11/21
