2017  1er Cru Les Combettes

1er Cru Les Combettes

2022  

"The vines are mostly below Corton Charlemagne in Les Marnais and Les Blanchards, hence the name. the holding was purchased 20 years ago, planted in white in 2013, with the first vintage 2017, rapidly becoming a firm Faiveley favourite. Pale in colour, lovely tension on the nose, just the perfect quality gulping white Burgundy. White fruit with a lemon citrus note, fresh, intense and just plain delicious. Drink from 2025-2028." - 5/5 Stars, Jasper Morris MW

2021  1er La Romanee

1er La Romanee ---- "A slightly riper and faintly exotic nose combines notes of citrus confit, white peach, Asian-style tea and notes of green apple. The rich, concentrated and powerful larger-bodied flavors possess excellent depth and persistence on the compact and built-to-age finish that is borderline tannic. This is almost always the best 1er in the Fontaine range and so it is again in 2021." - 93/Outstanding BH

2019  Puligny-Montrachet

2022  Puligny 1er Cru Hameau de Blagny

"Our Puligny-Montrachet 1er cru Hameau de Blagny is rich, with a beautiful minerality, a pale yellow color, gourmet notes of almond paste, vanilla, hazelnuts, white flowers. On the palate, the balance is there, with a long and complex finish, on notes of peppermint, citrus fruits. All its personality will be expressed in 2 to 3 years." ---- From 50 yr old vines that lie on only .17 ha of clay-limestone soil with cool evening exposure due to the high elevation of the plot. Hand harvested and gentle press, fermented in stainless steel with native yeasts. Aged in 70% neutral oak and 30% new oak for 14 months with gentle stirring every 15 days for 5 months.

2017  Blagny Sous Le Dos d'Ane

Blagny Sous Le Dos d'Ane ---- "A deft application of wood sets off notes of hazelnut, citrus peel and acacia blossom. The sleek and precise yet nicely rich medium-bodied flavors aren't quite as powerful but the finish is even more complex and somewhat unusually, even more persistent." - Outstanding, Burghound

2020  

"Lovely density and richness, with a nose showing ripe apricots, a hint of lemon peel and just a bit of butter. The texture is creamy and dense but not lacking in tension. Regal, substantial, but always elegant. This is made with the white grapes from the Senard monopole of the Clos des Meix, now biodynamically farmed. It is a blend of 85% Chardonnay and 15% Pinot Beurrot (Pinot Gris). The wine is rather quickly pressed and vinified without sulphur until the malolactic fermentation is complete. Ageing is in 350-litre casks (half new)." - 96pts, Charles Curtis MW
