  • 2000 Faiveley Corton-Charlemagne

    France, Burgundy, Côte de Beaune, Corton-Charlemagne Grand Cru

    Mid-gold in colour. Nose quite tight, some honney and mineral. Good attack, quite rich and rounded. Drops off in the middle but returns with quite a subtle but persistent finish, accacia blossom, mineral. Nose becomes quite oaky after time in glass. ***1/2

  • 2001 Faiveley Corton-Charlemagne

    France, Burgundy, Côte de Beaune, Corton-Charlemagne Grand Cru

    Similar colour to the 2000. Mineral, quite meaty nose, almost a touch of bacon fat that carries through to the attack. Mineral, some oak. Decent weight and length. Becoming quite spiicy on the nose. Currently the most toasty, almost exotic, of the three. Excellent. ****1/2

  • 2002 Faiveley Corton-Charlemagne

    France, Burgundy, Côte de Beaune, Corton-Charlemagne Grand Cru

    Cleaner nose, a touch of pink grapefruit and smoke. Cleaner and leaner on palate too. Good grapefruit acidity on the finish, almost too much. Quite long. Relatively light-textured at this stage. ***

  • 1988 Faiveley Echezeaux

    France, Burgundy, Côte de Nuits, Echezeaux Grand Cru

    Double-decanted 3 hrs. Lovely nose, smells like Burgundy. Mid to full garnet. A touch of cabbage in with the sous-bois. Also a slight volatility on the nose, lifted. Light, quite delicate, slight meatiness but lacking depth, compelxity and a bit of oomph. **1/2

  • 1993 Faiveley Nuits St. Georges 1er Cru Aux Chaignots

    France, Burgundy, Côte de Nuits, Nuits St. Georges 1er Cru

    Slightly more volatile nose, quite pruney. Positive attack, sweet fruit, quite rounded and together, then a nicely dry finish. OK. Nose becomes quite balsalmicy after a while. ***

  • 1993 Faiveley Latricières-Chambertin Flawed

    France, Burgundy, Côte de Nuits, Latricières-Chambertin Grand Cru

    Again, good colour. Slightly obdurate at the moment. Possibly a little on the cool side but there is a slight spritziness apparent on the nose too. Is this OK? No, a dirty-barrel feel to it. Possibly TCA stripping the fruit, not sure what the problem is but this is an off bottle. Bother, my bottle, sorry folks!

  • 1993 Faiveley Mazis-Chambertin

    France, Burgundy, Côte de Nuits, Mazis-Chambertin Grand Cru

    Slightly more red in colour. Fragrant, cherry-tinged. Silky. Nice depth and energy. Lovely wine. Mineral finish. Still quite taut. ***(*1/2)

  • 1990 Faiveley Latricières-Chambertin

    France, Burgundy, Côte de Nuits, Latricières-Chambertin Grand Cru

    Nice nose, slightly meaty, slightly sweet. Sweet fruited attack. Still needs time. Good though. ****

  • 1991 Faiveley Latricières-Chambertin

    France, Burgundy, Côte de Nuits, Latricières-Chambertin Grand Cru

    More mellow, meaty, quite deep nose. Smooth, plush, velvety, certainly one of the most attractive from the off. This is very decent indeed. ****1/2

  • 2003 Faiveley Latricières-Chambertin

    France, Burgundy, Côte de Nuits, Latricières-Chambertin Grand Cru

    Oaky, full nose. Quite ripe. Fruity, some oak. Youthfull. A little drying on the finish. No, actually this is very drying, a bit better with food, but even so. **1/2?

  • 2007 Faiveley Latricières-Chambertin

    France, Burgundy, Côte de Nuits, Latricières-Chambertin Grand Cru

    En magnum. Very primary nose. Plum, vanilla, damson and mulberry. Quite fruity infact. Purpley red. Smooth, sweet-fruited attack. Hard to tell, but could well be very decent, possibly a bit modern? I have no reference point for this. Very good though. **(**)
