  September 15, 2017 - A handsome wine offering with a young red fruit expression. Ready to drink at its peak. Senior enough to bring mature accents to the taste. Tonight with Duck Confit along with truffle oil infused mushrooms.

  April 28, 2016 - Nose of red fruit, a baked sweetness and some earth. Strawberry, raspberry, minerality and spice. Fresh and well integrated if a bit straightforward.

  January 23, 2014 - AuZone AGM (AuZone, Stockholm): Light red colour. Nose with strawberries, mineral, discrete spice and oak notes, a hint of flowers, and elegance. The palate is medium bodied(-) but with good concentration of aromas, with strawberries, noticeable mineral, some spice notes, rather light tannins and a long aftertaste with mineral. Definitely elegant, young, 90(+) p.
  Not at all a typical Nuits-Saint-Georges style, since that village tends to produce wines of a slightly rustic style, while this is increadibly polished and elegant for a village wine from a négociant. (The bottle does say "Domaine Faiveley", though.) This wine clearly demonstrates the makeover of Faiveley from a producer with very tough wines with tannins that demanded long cellaring to a finely polished style where mineral and elegance are in focus. The vintage style of 2010 has of course also helped in this case. I very much like this one, but those that like tough tannins in their wines will probably consider this to be a bit thin to be of interest.

  October 3, 2013 - Very light, very thin. Watery. A little raspberry, a little spice box, a little pepper, but no forest floor or barnyard. More of a new world pinot than a NSG. Perhaps this will gain some weight in time, but I'm doubtful. Disappointing.

  October 2, 2013 - Trialto Old World Classics Tasting: Very nice, appealing nose of cherry, pomegranate, brown spice, thyme, coriander, earth, and cured meat. Palate enters sweet and turns earthy with a fairly lengthy finish. Perhaps lacking in structure so definitely an early drinker.
