About Faiveley 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 Côte d’Or.

I had Faiveley's 2015 Latricières Chambertin recently, delicious, perfumed elegant and refined. Along with the 2015, I devoured a brace of 2016's from across the appellations.

The 2022 Chambolle-Musigny Charmes 1er Cru is destemmed and matured in 50% new oak. It has a light, what you might call a “transparent” bouquet with airy red fruit. The palate is well-balanced with grainy tannins. It’s quite a gentle Chambolle with a smooth texture, gaining weight towards the finish and exerting just the right amount of grip. It’s understated in style, but I appreciate how it gains momentum with time. Worth looking out for. Drink: 2026-2040Neal Martin, Vinous 91-93
