Founded in 1825, Domaine Faiveley is one of the largest domaines in Burgundy with a wide range of excellent wines that are elegant, complex and ageworthy. The 2016 Charmes-Chambertin comes from just 0.81ha of vines planted in 1925, 1930, 1959 and 1999. This is a thoroughly charming wine with lovely notes of bright red fruits, spices and dried flowers. From a more structured and powerful vintage, this will age particularly well.
Vinous
(partly from purchased grapes and the rest from a 60-year-old massale selection in both Charmes and Mazoyères--the same Magnien selection as the Lavaux Saint-Jacques; 100% destemmed; aging in 60% new oak and 40% once-used barrels): Dark red. Ripe, slightly high-toned aromas of almost liqueur-like dark fruit salad. Juicy on entry, then dense, sappy and dry, displaying lovely definition and cut. Very firm but with an element of perfume that makes it approachable now. Finishes complex and long, with supple tannins. Technical directly Jérôme Flous says that this is the closest in style among our wines to Rousseau's. There's certainly an element of softness to it.Stephen Tanzer1st January 2018
