A beautiful, bright garnet-red color. A lovely nose with woody and fruity notes. The overall impression is pleasant. On the palate, there are toasty and fruity aromas (ripe cherries). The tannins are present without being overly dominant or harsh. An elegant, refined, and distinguished wine.

Bettane & Desseauve
Rated estate (2020 guide): 4 stars (Producers of the very highest quality, the pride of French viticulture)
About the estate:
With 120 hectares of vineyards—70 of which are located in the Côte Chalonnaise—and one of Burgundy’s most beautiful cellars in Nuits-Saint-Georges, along with recent expansions such as the lease of the Zibetti estate and the acquisition of the Dupont-Tisserand and Billaud-Simon estates, Faiveley is more than ever an indispensable ambassador for the great wines of Burgundy around the world. And we are delighted that this is not at the expense of the high standards of quality and style across all appellations and price points. The focus on vineyard work is paying off; the estate’s wines showcase the integrity and precision of expression in each cuvée, whether white or red. The 2017 vintage is once again a success and a cohesive collection.

Rated estate (2022 guide) 1*Star (Up-and-coming stars or quality winemakers producing wines of a high standard—you won’t be disappointed when tasting the wines from these estates)
About the estate:
With the help of his technical director, Jérôme Flous, Erwan Faiveley took over from his father in early 2005 and has since been quietly revolutionizing this vast estate with its exceptional vineyard heritage, which has expanded in recent years. The style of the wines has subtly evolved: solidly built around a dense structure and less austere than in the past, they now display a clear fruit character that expresses itself earlier. While the oak notes were once somewhat green, they now take on toasted flavors. With improved ripeness, the grapes have, however, tended to integrate better over the past few vintages. The wines as a whole, particularly the reds, have made significant progress. A spectacular new winery was used for the first time for the 2018 harvest. This estate has successfully developed its wines with precision and intelligence.
