How does this wine taste?

How full and heavy the wine feels in your mouth, like the difference between skimmed milk and cream. More alcohol, sugar and oak ageing make a wine fuller.

How much sugar you taste, from dry to sweet. Fruity is not the same as sweet: a dry wine can taste of ripe fruit.

How fresh and juicy the wine is: acidity makes your mouth water. High acidity tastes lively and refreshing, low acidity soft and round.

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

It is also a family estate with 10 hectares of Grand Cru and almost 25 hectares of Premier Cru. The first step was taken in 1825 by Pierre Faiveley; his son Joseph transformed the estate into a magnificent, top-tier company, and his wines became ambassadors for Burgundy wines worldwide. With a clear, elegant, and distinctive style, they produce wines that consistently fulfill the ideal of Burgundy. "A very high-quality estate, representing the full glory of French winemaking," writes the renowned French wine-writing duo Michel Bettane and Thierry Desseauve.

Domaine Faiveley combines the principles of modern winemaking methods with the time-honored traditions practiced for centuries in its 19th-century cellars. Each terroir and each vintage benefits from special attention, making the cuvées unique. Each bottle is therefore a true reflection of its terroir.

Montagny is the southernmost village of the Côte Chalonnaise, on the border of the Mâconnais region. Chardonnay thrives in these hilly vineyards. The steep slopes where the vines are planted rise up to 400 meters above sea level. The Faiveley Montagny Blanc is a fresh Chardonnay with floral and mineral aromas. The palate is highly concentrated and balanced with a pleasantly long, fresh finish. One-fifth of the wine is aged in French oak barrels, allowing it to develop secondary aromas and a refined structure.

From the 2023 vintage onwards, the name has been given the addition of "Les Cent Pièces", referring to the size of the plot, namely 100 barrels.

The history of Domaine Faiveley dates back to 1825. The domain has been family-owned for 7 generations and is located in Nuits-Saint-Georges, in the heart of Burgundy. 127 ha Vineyards, spread over Côte de Nuits, Côte de Beaune and Côte Chalonnaise, of which 12 vineyards with Grand Cru classification, 25 with Premier Cru classification and 6 vineyards with a "Monopole" classification. The estate is managed by Erwan Faiveley, who keeps the work in the vineyards in-house to control the quality of the grapes. The hand-picked harvest is carefully transported to 19th century vaulted cellars located in Nuits-Saint-Georges. To make great Burgundies, Erwan Faiveley combines the principles of modern oenology with traditional aging in French oak barrels. All this contributes to the fact that Faiveley wines are highly regarded.

De 2023 Domaine Faiveley Montagny Blanc Les Cent Pièces toont frisse bloemige en citrusachtige aroma's met rijp appel- en perenfruit, een prettige mineraalzuur en subtiele toast- en vanilletonen van het eiken die voor een zachte, geconcentreerde en lange afdronk zorgen. Door die levendige zuurgraad snijdt de wijn mooi door rijke sauzen en vettere bereidingen, terwijl de mineraliteit en citrusaroma's zeevruchten en witte vis laten opleven, en de lichte houtinvloed goed aansluit bij gerijpte kazen. Probeer hem bij gegrilde of geroosterde gevogelte met citroen en kruiden, bij gepocheerde of in boter gebakken kabeljauw of coquilles met een beurre blanc, of bij een licht gerijpte Comté of romige geitenkaas.
