Faiveley Nuits St Georges 'Les Montroziers' 2020
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.'
