Red dry
This is a concentrated and classic red Burgundy wine, made from over forty-year-old ‘Pinot Noir’ vine berries. This wine perfectly reflects the essence of the Gevrey-Chambertin appellation.
The nose is dominated by aromas of ripe plums, elegantly intertwined with nuances of smoke and mineral notes, which lend complexity and depth to the wine. On the palate, this Gevrey wine exhibits a rather firm yet elegant tannin structure and lively acidity, which creates a long-lasting and pleasant aftertaste.
This exceptional wine is made from old ‘Pinot Noir’ vines, planted in 1969 on iron-rich clay-loam soil. It is precisely this soil that imparts minerality and a distinct character to the wine.
The wine was aged for 14 months in French oak barrels, of which 20-30% were new, followed by another 2 months of aging in stainless steel tanks.
Serve at 14-16 °C with beef bourguignon or a platter of mature cheeses
The ripe, plummy fruit character is a bit restrained on the nose but opens up on the palate with notes of earth, mineral, and smoke. The texture is classic for Gevrey in a cool year, with reasonably strict tannins and fresh acidity that lead to a persistent finish. This wine is a selection from the 35 parcels that Faiveley owns in Gevrey.
This self-confidently dry and well-structured Gevrey-Chambertin has pronounced earthy and savory notes with a hint of soy sauce. It really benefits from some aeration in the glass, the delicate red fruits opening up nicely. Try to be patient, because even just one more year in the bottle will really help this prototypical expression of the appellation.
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.
