Robert Parker

William Kelley

Faiveley’s superb 2015 Mazis-Chambertin Grand Cru opens in the glass with a brooding bouquet of dark wild berries, smoky plums, grilled meat, rose hip, and burnt orange that has already entirely digested its new oak. On the palate, the wine is full-bodied, ample, and rich, with a layered mid-palate and a serious chassis of fine-grained tannins largely hidden in a deep core of sappy fruit. The finish is long and savory. Cropped at a mere 20 hectoliters per hectare, this is one of the highlights of the Faiveley range this year.

Decanter

Sweet, ripe raspberry nose with a hint of bonbons. Rich, full-bodied, dense, and powerful on the palate, with good breadth of fruit that fills the mouth. Has heft but not at the expense of elegance, and the tannins are well integrated. Long, chewy finish.

Lightish crimson. Better balanced than the Clos de Vougeot but still needs a bit more fruit depth for overall harmony. Slightly hard on the finish. (JH)

More authoritative than the Latricières, this wine has plenty of comeback and shoulders well dressed by the vintage. A great future!

Description

A lively and beautifully balanced red wine from Burgundy

The estate

Established in 1825 by Pierre Faiveley in Nuits-Saint-Georges, the Joseph Faiveley house is now one of the emblematic figures of the Côte de Nuits. Under the direction of Erwan and Eve Faiveley, representing the 7th family generation, the Domaine Faiveley offers a remarkable range of wines expressing with finesse the diversity of Burgundy terroirs.

The vineyard

Historically located in Côte de Nuits, the Faiveley estate has gradually extended its domain in Côte de Beaune and Côte Chalonnaise. Today, it counts 12 Grands Crus and 25 Premiers Crus spread over prestigious plots of Bourgogne, which it cultivates with constant attention to the authenticity of the terroirs.

The wine

This Mazis-Chambertin Grand Cru comes from a 1.56 hectare plot facing east, planted in 1937, 1959 and 1974 on shallow soils.

Vinification and aging

Hand-harvested, the grapes undergo a short pre-fermentation cold maceration. The vinification is partly carried out in wooden truncated vats, with a maceration period of more than three weeks. The aging lasts between 16 and 18 months in vaulted cellars dating from the 19th century, with a proportion of new barrels adjusted according to the vintage.

Grape variety

100% Pinot Noir.
