Joseph Faiveley Puligny-Montrachet 1er Cru “Champ Gain”

Attractive nose offering subtle and seductive notes of citrus and exotic fruits combined with delicate toasty notes. The palate is rich and well-balanced with a smooth mouthfeel and taut, mineral structure. A very harmonious wine with exceptional aromatic persistency. The 25 acre 1er Cru Champ Gains sits on the upper slopes of the hillside just below La Garenne and north of the Grand Crus. The vineyard has an ideal slope to the southeast with light, well drained soils of clay and limestone. About the Winery: Founded in 1825, 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. Critical Acclaim: 2018: 94 points Wine Enthusiast, (92-94) points Robert Parker ”Stony reduction is suffused with vivid citrus and Mirabelle notes on the nose of this wine. The palate presents citric concentration with drive and freshness. Chalky allure echoes from from afar while zesty lemon freshness gives focus to the flinty notions. Drink 2022–2032.” Anne Krebiehl, Wine Enthusiast
