Faiveley, Chambolle-Musigny 2020

Jancis Robinson
"Cask sample. Mid crimson. Prettily scented with peony and red fruit. Classic Chambolle fragrance. On the palate, that floral and red-fruit character matches the aroma. Moderate intensity and plush texture. So approachable and better integrated than the Mercurey reds. 16.5/20 points. (JH)"

Vinous Reverie Notes
Faiveley Chambolle Musigny is sourced from multiple plots throughout the Chambolle Musigny appellation. Soils are stony and rich in limestone and exposures tend to be east/ southeast. Grapes are hand harvested and sorted upon arrival at the Domaine. Following a 18-20 day maceration the must undergoes primary fermentation in a combination of stainless steel and wooden vats followed by blending of the cuvees. The young wines are aged in 30% lightly toasted new oak barrels for 14 to 16 months. Tasting Notes: A beautiful, brilliant garnet-red color. The nose is very pretty with woody and fruity notes. On the palate are grilled and fruity, very ripe cherry aromas. The tannins are present without being too intrusive or aggressive. An elegant wine, fine and pedigreed.
