2023 Domaine Faiveley Bourgogne Chardonnay

When it comes to Burgundy, Domaine Faiveley is one of the very best addresses. This is a large family business with approximately 120 hectares of vineyards, including famous names such as Gevrey-Chambertin, Pommard, Volnay, Puligny-Montrachet, and Chablis Grand Cru.

However, it is also a family winery with 10 hectares of Grand Cru and nearly 25 hectares of Premier Cru. The first step was taken in 1825 by Pierre Faiveley; his son Joseph turned the winery into a magnificent top-tier company, and his wines became ambassadors of Burgundy wines around the world. With a clear, elegant, and distinctive style, they produce wines here that, without exception, meet the ideal image of a Burgundy. “A winery of very high quality, representing the full glory of French winemaking,” writes the French wine author duo Michel Bettane and Thierry Desseauve.

Domaine Faiveley combines the principles of modern winemaking methods with the age-old traditions that have been practiced for centuries in their 19th-century cellars. Each terroir and each vintage benefits from special attention that makes the cuvées unique. Every bottle therefore becomes a faithful reflection of its terroir. After a thorough selection based on quality, the grapes continue their journey through the winemaking process. This Chardonnay undergoes aging for 8-10 months in the cellars of Domaine Faiveley. A portion is aged in barrels, refining the secondary aromas of vanilla and cedar.

In Burgundy, the quality of a winery can be judged by its Burgundy AOC wine. If this wine is of such quality, the Premier Crus and Grand Crus will amaze you. This is certainly the case with Domaine Faiveley, with this beautiful, expressive Chardonnay from Burgundy AOC. A wine with excellent value for money. On the nose, this Chardonnay is very pleasant and expressive, with aromas of white flowers. The wine has a full structure in which aromas linger for a long time. A beautiful Burgundy at a great price.
