Domaine Faiveley Gevrey Chambertin 'Lavaux Saint Jacques' Premier Cru 2021
The 2021 'Lavaux Saint-Jacques' Premier Cru from Domaine Faiveley is an esteemed red wine from the Gevrey-Chambertin appellation in Burgundy, France. Crafted exclusively from Pinot Noir grapes, this wine showcases the unique terroir of the Lavaux Saint-Jacques vineyard, one of the top three Premiers Crus in Gevrey-Chambertin. The south-facing, 1-hectare parcel, planted on fossil-rich rock and clay soil, contributes to the wine's complexity and finesse.
Colour: Deep ruby red with a bright, clear hue, indicative of its freshness and vibrancy.
Aroma: An expressive bouquet with redcurrant and wild strawberry notes, alongside hints of forest floor (sous-bois) and truffle for a layered, inviting profile.
Palate: Balanced and refined with finely-chiseled tannins, offering flavors of crunchy black fruit and a touch of spice. The wine is nuanced, with a delicacy and elegance characteristic of the region.
Body: Medium-bodied with a harmonious blend of acidity and tannins, delivering a smooth and polished mouthfeel.
Finish: Long and elegant, leaving a refined impression of its complex flavors and structure.
Accolades: The 2021 vintage has received praise from critics, including 92-94 points from Vinous for its expressive bouquet, and 92-94 points from Jasper Morris, who noted its aging potential and appealing character.
