FAIVELEY

Nuits-Saint-Georges 1er cru Les Saint Georges 2016

- 95 points -

Frost-affected in 2016, in common with the rest of the Premier Cru, the Faiveley holdings were planted in the 1950s and in 1986. This is a classic Les-St-Georges, with serious tannins, intense, dark berry flavours and plenty of grip and minerality. The oak is particularly well integrated here.
