The Wine

The majority of this bottling came from a plot located close to the border with Vosne Romanee. It was planted over a number of years - 1928, 1955, 1965, 1968, 1972, 1979, 1982 1985, 1986, 1999, 2012, on clay–limestone soils, with an eastern exposure, and is cultivated using organic farming practices.

This name 'Les Montroziers' pays tribute to the Faiveley family’s ancestors, amongst them was Maurice Colrat de Montrozier, great uncle and witness to the marriage of Guy Faiveley (5th generation) and Yvonne Faiveley in June of 1945.

The 2020 shows aromas of ripe raspberries, juicy plums, and delicate peonies, medium-bodied with a smooth, perfumed character, featuring a vibrant core of fruit balanced by refreshing acidity.

94 Pts Stuart Pigott, jamessuckling.com 'Excellent blackberry and black-cherry fruit, the balance of ripe fruit, fine tannins and lively acidity resulting in harmony that’s so attractive, the finish so refreshing. Roughly two-thirds of this cuvee comes from vineyards close to the border with Vosne-Romanee, the rest from slightly further south. Drink or hold.'

About the Wine Maker

Based in Nuits-St-Georges, Domaine Faiveley was founded in 1825 and has been under the guidance of Erwan Faiveley since 2005. A few years ago, quite a few… we had the privilege of hosting one of our most memorable Masterclasses lead by Domaine Faiveley, where we looked at the 2012 Vintage. Long ago the Domaine had a reputation for producing good but at times charmless wines that required much cellar time – sadly some of the older wines have never come round. The tasting was a revelation! The wines were breathtaking…a reflection of the Domaine’s new direction under the guidance and vision of the then younger Erwan Faiveley. The breathtaking wines were a culmination of new vineyard practices, inauguration of a new gravity feed winery and adoption of contemporary winemaking philosophies – all of which combined to captured the full potential and greatness of their terriors. The wines were much more open and pure - charming while still retaining depth and structure. Pleasure giving from the get go but also with ageing capacity given the now harmonious /balanced state of the wines. A contender for one of the most improved Domaines in Burgundy over the last decade!
