FAIVELEY - Gevrey-Chambertin 1er Cru Clos des Issarts Monopole - 2017

FAIVELEY

Gevrey-Chambertin 1er Cru Clos des Issarts Monopole 2017

(a .61 ha monopole of the Domaine). This too is aromatically reserved with its airy aromas of violet, plum and earth that are trimmed in soft wood. Once again there is a sleek mouthfeel to the delicious and energetic medium weight flavors that are equally well-balanced and solidly persistent if perhaps not quite as complex. This is a Gevrey 1er of finesse in 2017.

About Burghound.com

Burghound.com is the result of a nearly lifelong passion for the wines of Burgundy. For more than 30 years, I have been collecting the wines and visiting the region. Each year I spend nearly five months visiting, researching, tasting, exploring and evaluating. Burgundy is my obsession really. Expanding on my coverage of the coveted pinot noir grape, each issue provides continuous coverage of both Oregon and California pinot noir, with rotating coverage of Champagne and occasional special reports from other pinot producing regions.
