From the winemaker: Intense garnet red hue and aromas of fruit, oak and spice on the nose. The palate reveals a smooth, rich attack, velvety tannins and good balance. A delicate, seductive and very elegant wine.
About the Brand:
Founded in 1825 in Nuits-St-Georges, Domaine Faiveley combines the principles of modern winemaking methods with the time-honored traditions that have been practiced for centuries within their 19th century cellars. Each terroir and each vintage, benefits from special attention which makes the cuvées unique. Each bottle therefore becomes the faithful reflection of its terroir.
From generation to generation, they have expanded to a total of 331 acres across the Côte d'Or and the Côte Chalonnaise, of which 30 acres are grands crus and 67 acres are premiers crus, with Nuits-St-Georges still the home of Domaine Faiveley's winery today and some of their most prized vineyards.
Critical Acclaim:
2018: 91 points Robert Parker’s Wine Advocate
"Mingling aromas of wild berry fruits and orange rind with nuances of smoked meats and loamy soil, Faiveley's 2018 Nuits-Saint-Georges Village derives from over three hectares of vineyards owned by the house. It's medium to full-bodied, supple and enveloping, with a rounded, charming personality that reveals none of the stereotypical Nuits asperity." Robert Parker's Wine Advocate
