Faiveley
The historic Domaine Faiveley is one of Burgundy's leading domaines. There is no doubt that in the last decade, under the guidance of Erwan Faiveley and winemaker Jérôme Flous, they have undergone a renaissance of style, shedding their old-school, austere reds for elegant, beautifully finessed wines.
Domaine Faiveley owns holdings in many of Burgundy’s most revered vineyards in the Côte de Nuits (Chambertin Clos de Bèze, Latricières-Chambertin, Mazis-Chambertin, Clos de Vougeot, etc.) and in the Côte de Beaune (Corton-Charlemagne, Bienvenues-Bâtard-Montrachet, Volnay, Pommard, etc.) with some of these being monopoles under single ownership.
Although armed with an incredible variety of vineyards, Faiveley also have their extraordinary heritage and experience as an advantage over their local rivals. No less than seven generations of Faiveleys have succeeded each other in running the domaine since it was founded in 1825.

Vinous - Stephen Tanzer (91-95)Deep ruby-red. Stubbornly backward, smoky nose. Firm, tight, and wrapped up in its own structure today. Showing less texture today than the Mazis. But spicy and sharply delineated. Finishes with superb length and a firm tannic spine. This will require a good eight to ten years of cellaring. From grapes harvested on October 4, with 12.6% potential alcohol. |

Vinous (91-94)Deep, bright red. Subtle, soil-inflected aromas of raspberry, minerals, tobacco and rose petal. Lush, thick and fat, with compelling flavors of musky, sappy berries. The silkiest of these young 2001s today. Finishes with chewy but very smooth tannins and slow-mounting, palate-saturating flavor. |

Vinous (94)The 2002 Chambertin Clos-de-Bèze Grand Cru has an Oriental bouquet with hoisin notes infusing the red fruit - quite attractive but certainly more exotic than its peers. The palate is medium-bodied with fine grip on the entry. This is well balanced with slightly tarry red fruit, tobacco and a pinch of white pepper towards the long finish. Very fine. Tasted at Sarah Marsh MW’s 2002 Red Burgundy tasting. |

Vinous (89)Saturated deep red. Black cherry, herbs, licorice and grilled nuts on the nose. Lovely sweetness in the mouth; sappy, intensely flavored and primary. Firmly structured yet already shows personality. Tannins expand on the finish, but there's also strong, persistent fruit. |

Vinous - Stephen Tanzer (88-90)Good full deep red. Smoky aromas of cherry, currant and iron, lifted by floral and mineral elements. Densely packed but closed, and distinctly dry after the Mazis and Latricieres. Cool flavors of dark berries, minerals and mint. Strong tannins coat the teeth and currently shorten the wine fruit. This was rather heavily extracted: like the Nuits Lavieres, it got a bit more pigeage |

Vinous (94)Impressively youthful saturated dark red color. Deep, brooding aromas of black fruits, violet, licorice and tobacco reminded me of Bordeaux, if not Pauillac. Hugely rich, tactile and mouthfilling, with its fleshy black cherry and violet flavors conveying a strong impression of inky depth without coming across as heavy. A classically dry, medicinal grand cru in a distinctly masculine style, this has the stuffing and structure to last 50 years. Spreads out horizontally on the back end, finishing with building ripe, dusty tannins and palate-staining length. Not the last word in finesse but this is an uncanny powerhouse of a Burgundy. Fans of the style may rate it even higher than I do. (13.2% alcohol; 3.33 pH; 3.6 g/l acidity) |

Vinous (96)The same can't be said about the Faiveley's 2002 Corton Clos des Cortons, which was tight and imposing from the very first taste. Still, it was impossible to miss the wine's huge center of fruit, phenomenal balance and massive potential for the future. What a gorgeous wine! |

Vinous (91+)Very deep red, by far the darkest in the tasting; showing no amber yet. Bordeaux-like nose combines redcurrant, black raspberry, graphite, mocha, cedar, licorice, mint and bouquet garni; it's hard to recognize Burgundy here (Jérôme Flous noted that we feared that 2018 would be like 2003 but we were saved by having a lot of moisture in the soil). A medicinal, mouthfilling monster with its black fruit and menthol flavors conveying a distinctly southern dried-fruit and Provençal herb character. Today the finish is cut off by palate-shattering tannins. Erwan Faiveley describes this as one of the biggest Burgundies I've ever tasted, noting that its IPT (indice de polyphénols totaux) is 130, which is off the charts. And I recall that when François Faiveley first showed me this wine from barrel in late 2004 (he bottled it early, in December of that year), he predicted that it would need at least 15 years of bottle aging; that has turned out to be an understatement. In fact, I wonder if this bulletproof wine will ever truly be easy to drink. I'm not sure if I would have pegged it blind as Pinot Noir. (This wine weighs in at 14.4% alcohol, while the rest of the vintages in this tasting are typically between 13.2% and 13.7%; 3.57 pH; 3.5 g/l acidity; from a harvest that began on August 25; just 18 hectoliters per hectare produced) |

Vinous (88-91)Slightly less saturated color. Very complex, soil-inflected nose hints at game, gunflint, licorice and tar. Less dense than the Clos Vougeot but equally intense. And suppler on the finish, thanks to more thoroughly buffered tannins. |

Vinous (88)(the only one of these 2010s that was in bottle by the time of my tasting): Good bright red. Deep aromas and flavors of black cherry, raspberry, menthol and licorice. Richer and larger-scaled than the Framboisiere, showing more depth and structure. Finishes with good length. This vineyard is actually located beneath Framboisiere but its soil is redder and richer in clay content. |

Vinous - Stephen Tanzer (86-89)Bright, full red-ruby color. Aromas of currant, smoke, earth, nuts, mace, nutmeg, iron and tobacco. Sweet but fresh, with nicely integrated acidity. The dusty tannins mounted with aeration. Faiveley lease on this huge 9.9-hectare parcel will run out next year, and the vines will revert to owner Freddie Mugnier in 2003. |
