- TASTING NOTE: "This is quite a serious wine for the humble appellation. Plenty of red cherry fruit. A surprising amount of structure on the medium-bodied palate. Bright, almost crisp finish. Matured for six months in oak casks previously used for the 1er and grand cru wines. Drink now." 90 Points - Stuart Pigott, James Suckling
- ABOUT THE WINE: Faiveley's Bourgogne Rouge is is sourced from vineyards spread throughout the terroirs of the Côte de Nuits, Côte de Beaune and the Côte Chalonnaise. The Bourgogne Rouge is vinified in the cellars of Domaine Faiveley for 12 to 14 months in the same manner as their broad selection of reds from the Côte de Nuits.

ABOUT THE PRODUCER: "This illustrious company has been based in Nuits-St-Georges since Pierre Faiveley founded the house in 1825. His son Joseph gave his name to the family business, to be followed by the first Francois, then Georges and Guy, who developed the business in the Côte Chalonnaise. Since 2007 Jerome Flous has been the technical director in charge of the production. The grapes are entirely destemmed and fermented in new wooden vats for the finer wines, conical stainless-steel tanks for the lesser cuvees. There is less emphasis on extraction than in Francois Faiveley's time, though the juice will still be punched down during fermentation. The most obvious change, though, is in the barrel cellar: here, the previous supplier has been replaced by Francois Freres, Taransaud and three other coopers. Both premier and grand cru wines may get two-thirds new wood. Old-style Faiveley wines could be massively tannic at the expense of the fruit, from 2007 the wines are much fresher and fruitier, yet still with real intensity." Jasper Morris MW, Inside Burgundy
