Tasting Notes
Domaine Faiveley is one of the dominant owners on NSG Les Porêts – a vineyard located just north of Les Cailles south of Nuits-Saint-George towards Premeaux. Faiveley acquired this vineyard already in 1832 as one of the first after the estate was established in 1825. The 2015 edition of the Les Porêts is a rich and fruity wine, it’s quite forward offering a nice selection of red and dark berries in the bouquet .. brought forward by a earthy note. On the palate rich, weighty and powerful for this level – offering abundant fruit – it’s generous, quite focused and detailed with a nice Burgundian feel. This is a NSG powerhouse … not a ballerina as such. Jun 2016, www.winehog.org

A pretty if restrained nose speaks of various wild red berries, earth and once again sauvage nuances. The supple yet concentrated medium weight flavors possess both fine volume and detail on the punchy and lightly mineral-inflected finale that is less rustic than usual. What is entirely typical though is the expected aging curve as this is almost certainly to be extremely long-lived. Dec 2016, www.burghound.com
