Tasting notes
Faiveley owns three parcels of this mighty Grand Cru, totalling 1.29 hectares. Head Winemaker Jérôme Flous feels it is one of their most complete wines, combining the power of Mazis-Chambertin and the delicacy of Latricières. The nose is fine with florals and sweet fruit, but beneath this is a powerful engine of fruit, concentrated sweet raspberry, just revving to go. Chalky minerality and earthy tones complement the fine tannins. Superb.

The 2022 Chambertin-Clos de Bèze Grand Cru is brilliant, bursting with aromas of sweet wild berries and cherries mingled with notions of peonies, vine smoke and incense. Full-bodied, layered and unctuous, with a thick but lively core of fruit framed by rich, powdery tannins, it concludes with a broad, saline finish.
Cask sample. Fairly discreet nose at this point. Rich start – really precise and layered on the palate. This is one of those wines that really builds towards the finish, despite being a little dumb on the nose initially. (JR)
