DOMAINE FAIVELEY
Nestled unassumingly on a quiet street in beautiful Nuits St Georges, Faiveley, headed by the suave and welcoming Erwan, is quite an operation. One of the truly great, historic Domaine of Burgundy, with stunning cellars and many glorious holdings from Gevrey to Pommard, via some brilliant Grands Crus, Erwan and his new team have everything that a Burgundian could desire. Traditionally, the Faiveley style was uncompromising but while still unquestionably making some of the longest-lived wines in the Côte, there is today far more finesse and precision in evidence, pointing to a more careful and up-to-date approacNEW RELEASES

TASTING NOTES
Hailed a curvy, racy beauty from Antonio Galloni and a fascinating wine from Monica Larner, Sassicaia 2017 is one of the most anticipated releases of the year. Sassicaia 2017 is a blend of 85% Cabernet Sauvignon and 15% Cabernet Franc. In her preview assessment of the wine, Larner describes incredibly well the tension existing from vintner and vintage and how, like...

TASTING NOTES
An impressive release that speaks volume of the pedigree of Tenuta San Guido’s wines. Guidalberto is a blend of 60% Cabernet Sauvignon and 40% Merlot. A voluptuous nose charged with blackcurrant, black cherries, damson notes is rained in by mineral, almost balsamic hints of black olive, mint, tomato leaf and fresh black pepper. The exuberant nose of youth shouldn’t distract from the...

The third wine of the estate and one that was produced since 2003, Le Difese is a blend of 70% Cabernet Sauvignon and 30% Sangiovese.

TASTING NOTES
“A darker, more structured Barolo than his sibling, Prapo’ is an incredibly pure expression of the terroir of Serralunga. Precise notes of red and black berries, forest floor and dark spices are framed by tight woven tannins and lively freshness. An exciting release that has the potential to be enjoyed for the next 10 years.” Armit Wines

TASTING NOTES
The blend consists of 95% Tempranillo from 40-year-old vines in Las Cuevas, El Palo and Las Monjas in Rodezno, complemented with 5% Graciano from the Montecillo estate in Fuenmayor. The Graciano gives the wine an aromatic intensity and acidity, to carry the structure and elegance of the Tempranillo. The grapes are vinified separately in four-and-a-half-year-old American oak for three years, and...

TASTING NOTES
A wine which always has plenty of character, the 2017 has red berry and plum aromas. On the palate, succulent forest fruit characters and subtle spice notes are balanced by elegant tannins which provide structure and lead to a long finish. This will be approachable earlier than 2016. Drink from 2020. Armit Wines

TASTING NOTES
Harmonious and refreshing, bright citrus characters on the nose mingle with aromas of flower blossom and white peaches. Yellow citrus flavours are balanced by a chalky mineral quality which leads to a long finish. This wine will be very enjoyable in its youth but has enough energy for several years of ageing. Drink from 2018. Armit Wines

An Armit Wines exclusive and a Faiveley monopole high on the slopes of Gevrey, this elegant and appealing wine has a bouquet of sweet plums and blackcurrants with notes of exotic smoke.

TASTING NOTES
This Monopole from Faiveley is always a favourite of mine. The bouquet is very inviting, with dark fruits to the fore and just a hint of spice. The palate has a wonderful balance of fruit and freshness, flavours of dark cherry and raspberry combine into an impressive whole with good concentration and length. This is a classy Gevrey that is...

TASTING NOTES
There is plenty of volume here; a rich, unctuous style that drives forward with cream, butter, pastry and soft yellow fruits. The decadent finish lingers impressively here with enough minerality and acidity to hold balance. This is a hedonistic yet well-made Meursault. Drink from 2019.Armit Wines
