Domaine Faiveley
Faiveley, Puligny-Montrachet
A textbook Puligny-Montrachet, this wine reveals exceptional tension, balancing rich fruit concentration with vibrant acidity. Ideally situated between Meursault and Chassagne-Montrachet, where Chardonnay has thrived since the 12th century, it reflects the precision and elegance that define the appellation, later renamed in 1879 to honor the famed Montrachet Grand Cru.
Plot Size: 0.48 ha. Domaine Faiveley is responsible for all the work carried out in this vineyard and can therefore have total control over the quality of the grapes, as in the plots it owns. This village abounds with exceptional limestone and very stony terroirs ideal for Chardonnay.

The nose will entice you with its subtle and seductive aromas of white flowers combined with a touch of vanilla and fresh hazelnut. The palate offers a direct, mineral attack which evolves to reveal rich notes of vine peach, exotic fruits, and salted caramel.

"Pear blossom, lemon pulp, flint and chalk aromas follow through to a medium-bodied palate defined by tightness, brightness and precision. There is real energy here, an almost vibrating tension running the length of the wine, everything drawn with impressive clarity through a long, chalky finish. A superb village wine. From biodynamically grown grapes. Drink or hold."
