Faiveley Bourgogne Chardonnay 2022

The 2022 Domaine Faiveley Bourgogne Chardonnay is a brilliant and expressive white Burgundy that benefits from a warm and generous vintage. It presents a clear, pale gold colour and opens with an inviting bouquet of white flowers, ripe peach, and Meyer lemon, complemented by a subtle touch of toasted hazelnut from its time in French oak. On the palate, the wine is beautifully balanced, combining a round, fleshy texture with a vibrant mineral backbone and crisp acidity. The finish is clean and persistent, offering great purity of fruit. This wine serves as an excellent introduction to the Faiveley style, delivering village-level quality and elegance in a more approachable regional bottling.

91 Points - James Suckling

Brimming with candied lemon and fresh pomelo aromas. Very attractive interplay of discrete fruit, flinty character and fine tannins on the quite sleek, medium-bodied palate. Remarkable mineral character in the finish for the humble appellation. A cuvee that is half from domaine vineyards in the Cote Chalonnais and half from the Cote d'Or. Matured primarily in oak casks, plus a smaller part in stainless steel. Drink now.
