The 2018 Nuits Saint-Georges Les Saint-Georges 1er Cru has a complex, complete bouquet with dark berry fruit, touches of 5-spice and a hint of balsamic. Controlled opulence. The palate is medium-bodied with lithe tannins, nicely pitched acidity, harmonious with a slightly peppery, quite nuanced and persistent finish. One of the picks from Faiveley this year. Tasted blind at the Burgfest 2018 red tasting.

The Les St Georges comes under the negociant label, Joseph Faiveley, as the produce of their own vines is mixed with two other sources, one of which is the Hospices de Nuits. A deep crimson colour. The bouquet is relatively luxurious, a super succulent ripe raspberry, with very good tension behind. This seems very young, but the abundant fruit and the structure are promising. The fruit on the palate is fresher than for the village Nuits. Drink from 2030-2038. Tasted: October 2023.

Pale bright yellow. Captivating nose combines lemon drop, underripe pineapple, dusty stone, white pepper, flowers and mint. Tightly wound and extremely backward, more salty than sweet. Quite minerally and precise owing to its cool, high site. This crisp, intense wine finishes very long and alive, with pungent crushed stone. Almost 2014-like in its coolness, density and savory minerality.

Pale yellow. Very reticent aromas of white peach and ripe citrus fruits. Rich, pliant, rather generous wine with lovely inner-mouth floral lift giving it an enticing coolness. A touch of positive greenness contributes to this wine's refreshment value. At once silky and energetic, this very pure Referts finishes with subtle rising length.

The 2018 Beaune Champs Pimont 1er Cru is a new fermage for Felittig, courtesy of a 0.5-hectare parcel that was picked after the Chambolle-Musigny Village, and matured in 50% new oak. This comes across a little overpowering on the nose, although it does become more refined with aeration. Precocious blueberry, boysenberry and fig notes blossom in the glass. The palate is well balanced with fine definition and, being completely de-stemmed, has a silky sheen and very pure fruit. Blood orange and light peppery notes with a long tail on the finish. Promising.
