Faiveley Gevrey Chambertin 750ml

Great purity of fruit and a silky elegance on the palate that consistently surpasses the already-elevated norm for this village. This wine is a selection of the best parcels among the 26ha Faiveley owns in Gevrey (over 30 parcels). The wines that don't make the cut are sold to other négociants; the average ripeness of the wines that do are 13% alcohol. The grapes are mostly destemmed and fermented with very little punching down before being aged in cask (20% new).

A rich and meaty Gevrey-Chambertin with plenty of black-cherry and blackberry fruit, wrapped around a very healthy core of tannins. Delicate wet-earth touch. Long, well-structured finish with excellent harmony.
