Great Burgundy of Faiveley






2011 Faiveley Nuits St. Georges Les Damodes....$94.99
A spicy, fresh and mildly exotic nose of tea, wild red berries and plenty of pungent earth gives way to more obvious mineral-inflected flavors that possess a taut muscularity on the balanced, understated and attractively persistent finish. Even with the muscle, this is essentially a wine of finesse as the supporting tannins are really quite fine. 
Rated 90-92/100 Burghound
Rated 91/100 Stephen Tanzer

2011 Faiveley Gevrey Chambertin Come Aux Moines...$88.99

2010 Faiveley Chambolle Musigny...$84.99
Smooth and rich, this generous selection is full of ripe fruit and balanced tannins. It shows the elegant side of village wines. With delicious acidity on the finish, this wine can be consumed soon, although it will also age well for several years. 
Rated 90/100 Wine Enthusiast
