FAIVELEY

Nuits-Saint-Georges 1er cru Aux Chaignots 2013

- 94 points -

Unusually for a Faiveley red, this was made with 25% whole bunches, partly because of the presence of so many small berries (millerands) and the concentration and sweetness of the grapes. Orange peel, Asian spices and lots of volume: this wine is rich but structured at the same time.
