Description

Domaine Faiveley Nuits-Saint-Georges 1er Cru Aux Chaignots 2022 is an exceptional red Burgundy wine that reflects the strong character and subtlety of the Nuits-Saint-Georges 1er Cru appellation. The vines grow on the “Aux Chaignots” plot, located in the northern part of Nuits-Saint-Georges.

Wine aroma: intense aromas of cherries, raspberries, blackberries, rose petals and delicate spices. Taste: well-balanced, with soft but clearly perceptible tannins, fresh acidity, silky texture. Aftertaste: long, fruity, with a subtle earthy note - indicating the wine's potential for maturity.

The vines are 35-60 years old, they grow in clay and limestone soil. Cold maceration was carried out before fermentation (about 5-6 days, ~10°C). Fermentation took place with natural yeasts in stainless steel tanks. The wine is aged in French oak barrels for about 14–16 months (about 30–40% of the barrels are new).

Serving recommendations

Serve at 14-16 °C. The wine goes well with duck, roasted pheasant, mushrooms, truffle dishes, veal, as well as with aged cheeses (Comté, Tomme de Bourgogne).

Red cherries and fresh garden herbs in the nose. Concentrated and compact palate. Still tightly wound, the power and drive at the finish are very impressive. A touch of licorice here, too. Will need some time, but that's not unusual for this appellation.

About brand

Since 1825, the Faiveley family has worked with deep respect in the heart of Burgundy – in the Côte de Nuits, Côte de Beaune, and Côte Chalonnaise regions – where prestigious Grands Crus and Premiers Crus wines are born. The secrets and passion of winemaking, passed down from generation to son, have allowed Domaine Faiveley to become the largest family-owned vineyard estate in Burgundy today, managing an impressive portfolio of 13 Grands Crus, 35 Premiers Crus, and 28 village wines. The wines of this producer are consistently characterized by elegance and impeccable quality.

Wine Style

Domaine Faiveley wines are elegant and perfectly balanced, reflecting the unique terroir of Burgundy. Great attention is paid to the character of each appellation and the subtle differences determined by soil and microclimate.

  • White wine: characterized by subtle minerality, elegant acidity, and complex aromas where notes of white fruits, flowers, and light oak can be found.
  • Red wine: aromatic, with smooth yet firm tannins, an elegant structure, and vibrant notes of red and dark berries, spices, and earth.

Prestigious Vineyards

Domaine Faiveley owns exceptional vineyards in prestigious Burgundy locations:

  • Grands Crus vineyards, such as Gevrey-Chambertin ‘Chambertin-Clos de Bèze’, ‘Latricières-Chambertin’, Beaune ‘Clos des Cortons Faiveley’, and others, renowned for their exceptional quality and complexity.
  • Premiers Crus vineyards, for example, Nuits-Saint-Georges ‘Les Porrets Saint-Georges’, ‘Les Vaucrains’, Pommard ‘Les Rugiens’, and others, demonstrating a subtle balance of terroir nuances and elegance.
  • Village vineyards in the Chablis, Côte de Nuits, Côte de Beaune, and Côte Chalonnaise regions, reflecting the unique character of each locality.

Great emphasis is placed on vineyard care throughout the year, from winter pruning to meticulous harvest management in the summer, to ensure the optimal ripening of ‘Pinot Noir’ and ‘Chardonnay’ grapes.

Aging and Drinking Period

Domaine Faiveley wines possess an excellent balance and elegance, allowing them to be enjoyed both young and mature. The red wines have great potential for long aging, during which their complexity unfolds and the tannins become more refined. The white wines can also age, developing even more depth and concentration.
