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 domaines 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 approach.
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...

Attractive summer blossom and yellow fruits on the nose are followed by bright citrus qualities with a hint of oyster shell. On the palate, delicate chalky mineral notes, typical of this terroir, balance soft baked apple flavours. There is a hint of butter and toast on the finish. Refined and energetic, this is relatively rich for the vintage. It will...

Harmonious and refreshing, bright citrus characters on the nose combine with aromas of flower blossom and white peaches. This is a vibrant wine with a long finish. It will be very enjoyable in its youth but has enough energy for several years of ageing. Drink from 2019. Armit Wines

Expressive dark and spicy notes of coffee and nutmeg intermingle with a dark fruit profile of forest berries and purple plums. The palate displays brighter, crunchier fruit with wild, freshly picked strawberries. An autumnal characteristic gives a sense of forest floor with a sumptuous hint of truffle on the mid-palate. The ripe fruit melds together with a soft, creamy texture,...

From one of the finest parcels in Meursault, just beneath the Clos des Perrières, this shows the minerality of Perrières with the weight and attraction of Charmes. The 0.2 hectare plot at Faiveley is a gem in their line-up of whites. In 2015, this is rounded and shows off some impressive scale. Notes of citrus, waxy yellow fruits, acacia and...

The palate has a sensual quality with its smooth, broad textures and silky sweet plum and dark cassis flavours balanced by an energetic mineral freshness which gives it such length and...

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
