Domaine Faiveley Gevrey Chambertin 'Lavaux Saint Jacques' Premier Cru 2021

6 units available online.
Product description

Founded in 1825, Bourgognes Faiveley has been handed down from father to son for over 175 years. As the sixth generation to take the reins, Francois Faiveley manages, with equal amounts passion and competence, the largest family domaine in Burgundy. Methodically reconstructing vineyards fractured by French inheritance laws, Bourgognes Faiveley today owns more appellations in their entirety (monopoles) than any other domaine in Burgundy.

94 Points - James Suckling

I love the fine spicy notes and delicate red fruit aromas of this concentrated and very elegant Gevrey-Chambertin 1er Cru. Subtle celery note, both the root and stalk. Only medium-bodied, but with excellent structure and finesse, the finish long and subtle.

92+ Points - Vinous

The 2021 Gevrey-Chambertin Lavaux Saint-Jacques 1er Cru offers one of my favourite bouquets from Faiveley in this vintage: open redcurrant and wild strawberry scents, touches of sous-bois and truffle, very expressive and charming. The palate is well balanced with finely-chiselled tannins, quite energetic, perhaps because compared to their Les Cazetiers, this was barely touched by the frost. Almost confit-like on the finish. Excellent.

91+ Points - Robert Parker's Wine Advocate

The 2021 Gevrey-Chambertin 1er Cru Lavaux Saint-Jacques reveals aromas of cherries, sweet berries, loamy soil and spices. Medium to full-bodied, ample and fleshy, supple and lively, with melting tannins and a penetrating finish, it's a success.
