We tasted nine grand Crus from the Côte de Nuits chez Faiveley - and this one was arguably the most impressive. Very high average vine age in this northernmost Grand Cru in the Côte de Nuits, some planted between 1930 and 1945, delivers fruit of amazing concentration. From new barrel. Deep colour, brooding smoky nose, great power and depth of fruit - but lush and seductive too. 2025-2040
