FAIVELEY - Nuits-Saint-Georges 1er cru Aux Chaignots - 2013

Nuits-Saint-Georges 1er cru Aux Chaignots 2013

A wonderfully spicy and solidly complex nose offers up aromas of both red and dark currant aromas that evidence a touch of the sauvage, all of which is trimmed in just enough wood to notice. There is good richness but also good delineation to the delicious and lightly mineral-inflected flavors that possess a mouth coating finish. This well-balanced effort is very Nuits in basic character but with no overt rusticity.

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.
