Faiveley
The historic Domaine Faiveley is one of Burgundy's leading domaines. There is no doubt that in the last decade, under the guidance of Erwan Faiveley and winemaker Jérôme Flous, they have undergone a renaissance of style, shedding their old-school, austere reds for elegant, beautifully finessed wines.
Domaine Faiveley owns holdings in many of Burgundy’s most revered vineyards in the Côte de Nuits (Chambertin Clos de Bèze, Latricières-Chambertin, Mazis-Chambertin, Clos de Vougeot, etc.) and in the Côte de Beaune (Corton-Charlemagne, Bienvenues-Bâtard-Montrachet, Volnay, Pommard, etc.) with some of these being monopoles under single ownership.
Although armed with an incredible variety of vineyards, Faiveley also have their extraordinary heritage and experience as an advantage over their local rivals. No less than seven generations of Faiveleys have succeeded each other in running the domaine since it was founded in 1825.

Jancis Robinson (17.5)Barrel sample. More obvious citrus and creamy oatmeal on the nose than on the Bienvenues, less stony. More obvious oak. Sinewy and fresh on the palate, tense rather than rich, tight and long. Chewy texture on the finish combined with lovely freshness and length. |

Vinous (94-96)The 2019 Bâtard-Montrachet Grand Cru conveys much more terroir expression on the nose, offering chalk dust and wet limestone aromas; great intensity here. The taut, fresh palate is very well balanced with a fine bead of acidity, a mineral-driven finish and commendable persistence. This is a step above the Bienvenues this year and it should age with style. Bon vin! |

Burgundy | 1 | 97 (TA) | HK$23,565.00 | |||||
Tim Atkin MW (97)This is an about-face from the Bienvenue-B tard-Montrachet. It is unapologetically creamy and sumptuous with a near gluttonous concentration of lushly ripe orchard fruit accompanied by cinnamon dusted banana bread. Yet, there is a strong current of bustling acidity providing refreshment. These vines were planted in 1985 and 1997 and purchased by Faiveley in 2008. 2025-40 |

Vinous (92-94)The 2021 Bâtard-Montrachet Grand Cru is more backward and surly than the Bienvenues at this stage, less "welcoming". The palate is well balanced with a tangy entry, orange rind and lemon peel, touches of grapefruit towards the finish, though the Bienvenues has more cohesion. Still commendable given the season. |

James Suckling (97-98)Mind-blowingly deep and subtle nose of stone fruit with citrusy nuances. All the density of Batard, but with such elegance at the extremely long, focused finish. Great potential! From old vines purchased in 2008. |
