Domaine Faiveley Gevrey-Chambertin Vieilles Vignes 2017

Description

Based in Nuits-St-Georges, the famous Domaine Faiveley was founded in 1825 and in more recent times, the domaine has greatly expanded its vineyards across the entire. Once notorious for being fairly austere, there has been less emphasis on extraction over the last ten years and the wines show increased freshness, purity of fruit and more judicious use of oak. A contender for one of the most improved domaines in Burgundy over the last decade. The fruit for this wine is sourced from vines which are over 35 years old, producing an exceptionally aromatic and intense wine reflecting the unique character of its terroir. In the glass the wine is a deep, clear ruby red colouring with aromas of black fruits. As with all GevreyChambertin, it requires a few years of patience before reaching its full potential.
