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.

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,...

This excellent village Meursault shows as well as a premier cru. The aromas are full of green apples, white peach and a touch of butter and smoky nuttiness. The palate is full and round but with plenty of crisp acidity and a lively zing. Green apples dominate followed by very subtle tones of white acacia and a good minerality on...

A real success, this has a bouquet of bright mulberries and ripe blackberries with a slight animal tone. The palate possesses darker cherries and bramble notes but there is some superb minerality that lingers leaving a slight chalky texture alongside some exotic smoky, spice notes on the finish. It is delicious, intense and charming and has great acidity. All the...

Dark, opulent brambly fruit hints at seriousness on the nose. With some patience and gentle coercing from the glass, perfumed qualities of violets and purple fruits start to reveal themselves. The palate displays an impressive scale and structure. The aromatic depth is more baritone than tenor here, with a meaty, spicy and leathery character at the fore. The textures are...

Bold oak and dark fruits nose. Really rich, ripe entry - plenty of intensity and structure but also powerful and persistent black fruits and minerals. This is a broad shouldered, full-bodied wine with tremendous potential. Brilliantly expressive of its terroir. Drink from 2014
