2010 Nuits-St Georges, Les Porêts-St Georges, 1er Cru, Domaine Faiveley

Nuits-St Georges, Les Porets-St Georges, 1er Cru, Domaine Faiveley
Dense, bright purple and offering a powerful nose with dark red fruit and some chocolate notes, the tremendous wine has a structure based on ripe tannins backed up by fresh acidity. A little more time in the barrel will see this wine come up trumps.
Jasper Morris MW, Burgundy Director

2010 is year three of the ‘new’ Faiveley style and they have again delivered an excellent set of wines. They picked from 20th September to 29th, beginning with Côte d’Or whites. The new regime has concentrated on an overhaul of winemaking principles, leading to a refinement of style. Next up will be a renovation of their Côte Chalonnaise cellars. They have also been expanding significantly into the Côte de Beaune, especially for white wines.

Nuits-St Georges, Les Porets-St Georges, 1er Cru, Domaine Faiveley
Noticeable reduction renders the nose difficult to evaluate. By contrast there is excellent concentration to the powerful and broad-shouldered medium weight plus flavors that are shaped by very firm and ever-so-mildly rustic tannins on the intensely earthy finish. While this will not win any awards for elegance as Porrets St. Georges is almost always among the most tannic of the Nuits 1ers, it offers plenty of character in a decidedly ageworthy package.
