Faiveley, Gevrey-Chambertin, Vieilles Vignes 2016
CRITIC REVIEWS
William Kelley
A domaine bottling for Faiveley, the 2016 Gevrey-Chambertin Vieilles Vignes bursts from the glass with a rich and wild bouquet of grilled meats, earthy cassis, red cherries, spices and rose petals. On the palate, its medium to full-bodied, fleshy and muscular, with a succulent core of fruit, fine but youthfully chewy tannins and a long, enticingly carnal finish. While the new style chez Faiveley is beautifully polished, I found this cuvée strangely reminiscent of the wines of the erstwhile Domaine Maume—certainly an unexpected analogy.

Cask sample. Light to mid crimson. Delicate, dark-red fruit and sweetly rounded on the palate. Lightly peppery, tannic finesse and freshness, finishing dry and just slightly flat. (JH)
