92 Points

Thursday, June 15, 2023 - Annual wine trip; Bourgogne & Champage with Bas; 6/14/2023-6/18/2023 (France): [Tasting at Domaine Faiveley] Pale ruby, medium intensity with aroma’s of red & black fruit, violets, leather, some development with forest floor and mushroom. Powerful. 92-93

Bottle 4063. From two lower plots near the provincial road and one plot higher up in Clos Vougeot. 60% new oak, 40% 1-year old oak

They have an amazing fermentation room (rebuild in 2018) and marvelous cellars. Before the visit I had the idea that they are mainly negociant, but they have 120 ha own vineyards and nowadays only 10% is negociant business, mainly with their whites
