Dom. Faiveley Chambertin Clos de Beze Grand Cru, Gevrey Chambertin, 2009 Red Wine, 75cLBy Winebuyers

1 x 75cl. The producer, Faiveley, has been a merchant trading in wine since 1825. Over the generations, the family has accumulated vineyards, making Faiveley one of the largest landholders in Burgundy with 115 hectares. While 72 hectares are in the Cote Chalonnaise, producing fabulous wines of great value, there are 10 hectares of Grand Cru and 15 hectares of Premier Cru in some of the finest vineyards on the Cote, including Gevrey, Corton, Puligny, Chambolle, Nuits, Pommard, Volnay, Vosne Romanee, and Vougeot. These are the jewels in Faiveley's crown. Faiveley produced long ageing wines for the second part of the 20th century, often with a touch of aggression in the tannins and rather rustic fruit. The 21st century has seen a transformation, and while the wines retain their depth and concentration, they now show more precision in the fruit, with fabulous balance and finesse. These are pure and precise wines that clearly express their individual terroirs, and they seem to just get better with time. This wine is a red wine, suitable for both men and women.
