Domaine Faiveley
Nuits-Saint-Georges "Les Montroziers"
This wine is sourced from parcels across the village, the majority of which lie along the Vosne-Romanee border and therefore exhibit notable elegance and silkiness. This name pays tribute to the Faiveley family’s ancestors, who were industrial leaders and statesmen. 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 — an occasion that marked the coming together of two very different industries: wine and rail.
Plot: 4.84 ha. The very pebbly “Argillats” contributes delicate aromas, while the flat “Lavières”, consisting of marl, silt and hard limestone, imparts concentration and depth to the wine.

Intense garnet red hue and aromas of fruit, oak, and spice on the nose. The palate reveals a smooth, rich attack, velvety tannins, and good balance. A delicate, seductive, and very elegant wine.

"An expressive style, exuding cherry, raspberry, rose, sandalwood and spice aromas and flavors. Firms up, with refined tannins, yet offers accessibility and harmony. The long aftertaste echoes the fruit and spice elements. Best from 2028 through 2045. 403 cases made, 107 cases imported."
