Chambolle-Musigny
1er Cru “Les Amoureuses”
Domaine Faiveley

Millésime 2018. “A very ripe yet not roasted nose offers up notes of poached plum, sandalwood, exotic tea and plenty of floral influences that include violet and rose petal among others. The sleek, juicy and well-delineated middle weight flavors brim with minerality that adds a certain lift to the equally firm, serious and ever-so-mildly warm finale. This too is going to require at least some patience.”

Millésime 2018. “The 2018 Chambolle-Musigny 1er Cru Les Amoureuses bursts form the glass with a complex bouquet of wild berries, cherries, peony, cinnamon and smoke. On the palate, it’s medium to full-bodied, lively and fine-boned, with powdery and refined structuring tannins, lively acids and a fragrant core of fruit. I’d rank Domaine Faively’s Chambolle-Musigny premiers crus above this négociant cuvée, despite the pedigree of the site, but it is a pretty wine in the making.” by William Kelley.
