FEATURES
🏰 The 2020 vintage for Faiveley's Clos de Vougeot Grand Cru is lauded as excellent, characterized by lower alcohol and pH levels compared to 2019, yet boasting incredible concentration and purity. This particular site evidently thrived in the warm, dry conditions of the vintage. Faiveley holds three parcels, totaling 1.27 hectares, within Clos de Vougeot, including a notable portion in Grand Maupertuis. The fruit was harvested at optimal ripeness (14.5% alcohol) and partially destemmed, followed by meticulous extraction and aging in casks, with half being new oak. Under the guidance of Erwan Faiveley and winemaker Jérôme Flous, the domaine has undergone a stylistic renaissance, transitioning from austere reds to elegantly finessed wines. 【 A powerful and complex Clos de Vougeot Grand Cru, showcasing a renaissance of elegant and finessed winemaking from Faiveley 】
This wine displays an inky dark color and pronounced aromas of blackberry, fig, smoke, and spice. The texture is lush, yet supported by firm tannins, maintaining an elegant balance throughout. It gracefully unfolds in the glass with aromas of dark berry fruit, cassis, orange rind, and spices, subtly framed by a touch of classy new oak. Full-bodied, layered, and muscular, it is rich and concentrated, with lively acidity and a long, resonant finish. Additional notes include ripe black and red raspberry, earthy undertones, discreet spice and wood wisps, and a hint of warmth on the compact finish. It also exhibits complex fruity and floral notes, such as rose and violet, complemented by a subtle hint of oak.
🍴 This Grand Cru is an excellent match for roasted or sauced red meat dishes, roast pheasant, wild boar, roast venison, capon, and ripe cheeses such as Camembert. It also pairs beautifully with slow-cooked beef, duck with earthy elements, or a mushroom and truffle pithivier.
🥂 This Grand Cru is ideal for a significant dinner, a focused 布根地(布根地) wine tasting event, or for cellaring to allow its complex layers to fully unfold. It boasts a promising drinking window from 2025 to 2050.
