Note di degustazione
This well-placed, sunny and southeast-facing Premier Cru vineyard neighbours Clos Saint-Jacques on the Combe Lavaut. Faiveley has over four hectares of vines, with a higher-altitude section on calcareous soils that brings finesse and minerality, complemented by heavier clay soils that lend power and richness. It happens to be Erwan Faiveley’s desert-island wine, and it’s easy to see why. The 2023 has an intoxicating nose with sweet spice and rich, dark fruit – cherries and blackberries. The tannins are fine and powdered, like fresh mountain snow, but with a gorgeous sweetness. The core of fruit is polished and luxurious, the spicy notes enrobed in soft, velvet fruit, before a long, saline finish.

Outstanding - Moderate reduction renders an evaluation of the nose impossible. The medium weight flavors possess a slightly finer mouthfeel while exuding an almost palpable minerality that adds a sense of lift to the lightly tangy if impressively long finale. Note that my projected range assumes that the tanginess is likely due to a high level of gas and thus will be eliminated once the wine is prepared for the bottling.
The 2023 Gevrey-Chambertin 1er Cru Les Cazetiers is a beauty, bursting with notes of cherries, raspberries, rose petals and incense. Medium to full-bodied, pure and polished, with an ample core of fruit, lively acids and a saline finish, it's especially perfumed and sensual this year. Jérôme Flous and his team can't seem to put a foot wrong at Faiveley; and given the high level of vineyard management and skill and precision brought to bear in the winery and the cellar, I think it's fair to say this is one of the finest larger domaine and négociant operations in Burgundy in terms of both quality and consistency. The 2023 vintage has delivered a crop of supple, sensual reds and fleshy but precise whites that will offer broad drinking windows.
