2015 Joseph Faiveley Bourgogne Pinot Noir

Domaine Faiveley is one of the biggest domaines in Burgundy with the fruit for this Bourgogne being sourced mainly from plots situated in Côte de Nuits, Côte de Beaune and Côte Chalonnaise.

An excellent entry level Burgundy from the outstanding 2015 vintage.

Semi translucent dark red colour with a bright dark crimson hue. Elegant but perfumed, nosing offers up aromatics of violets, dark cherries, strawberries and a hint of sour cherries followed by earthy incense like characters and subtle spicy cedar. Light in body but with plenty of flavour the palate dishes up an elegant, savoury profile of spicy ripe dark cherries and strawberries that intermix with just a dash of sour cherries to freshen things up. Also evident are underlying elements of faint earth, subtle dried herbs and spicy cedar. Bright finish with slightly dryish but fine grained tannins. Aftertaste of spicy dark cherries, strawberries, a touch of sour cherries, subtle earthy dried herbs and spicy cedar.
Cellar 4-5 years.
Alc. 12.5%

Other Reviews….
Bright and fruity with strawberry and orange-peel aromas that follow through to a medium body, bright acidity and a clean finish. Crisp and clean. Excellent Bourgogne red.
