FAIVELEY

Nuits-Saint-Georges 1er cru Les Porêts-Saint-Georges 2021

- 90 points -

This holding is the largest for Faiveley in the village where they are based, totalling 1.69ha, with the oldest vines planted in 1945. In 2021 it delivered a wine of bright, fresh cherry aromas with an edge of rose petals and mineral, but nothing green or astringent. The texture is vibrant, yet there is rewarding density and good length. It is mostly destemmed and fermented on native yeasts with daily punching down before ageing 16 months in casks (half new)
