Domaine Faiveley – Vieilles Vignes 2018 – Gevrey-Chambertin

The nose is racy, elegant and offers a certain richness (full of elegance), deepness and finesse of the grain. It reveals notes of black cherry, black blackberry, small notes of bright wild raspberry associated with touches of small blue berries, tobacco leaf as well as fine hints of liquorice stick, lily, sense of the place, an imperceptible hint of cinnamon and tonka bean (in the background). The palate is fruity, fresh, delicate, perfectly squared, gourmand and offers a fine acidulous frame, a fleshy/juicy fruit as well as a beautiful guideline. On the palate this wine expresses notes of juicy/fleshy blackberry, plum, small notes of strawberry associated with touches of bright cherry, small blue berries as well as hints of cornflower, lily, tobacco leaf, tonka bean, a subtle hint of sense of the place, an imperceptible hint of pepper and badiane. Tannins are elegant and well-built.
