A beautiful, brilliant garnet-red color. The nose is very pretty with woody and fruity notes. On the palate are fruity, very ripe cherry aromas, with subtle grilled notes. The tannins are present without being too intrusive or aggressive. Overall, an elegant, very pleasant wine, fine and pedigreed.
The Joseph Faiveley Chambolle-Musigny AC is sourced from multiple plots throughout the Chambolle-Musigny appellation. The wines are aged in 30% lightly toasted new oak barrels for 14 to 16 months.

“Silky in texture and evoking black cherry, black currant and violet flavors, this red tightens up as it evolves on the palate, leaving a chalky sensation on the finish. The lasting impression is of sweet fruit. Best from 2020 through 2035.” Wine Spectator
