Faiveley Corton Clos des Cortons Grand Cru 2007 750ml

Burghound.com, Nov 5th, 2018
A very pretty and moderately high-toned nose reflects notes of various red berries, herbal tea, earth, underbrush and a discreet whiff of wood. There is fine detail to the intense if lighter weight flavors that possess lovely complexity on the softly rustic finish where the tannins have not yet completely resolved. This is nearing its peak and could certainly be enjoyed now though I would be inclined to hold it for another few years first. A quality 2007 that is clearly a child of its vintage.

Domaine Faiveley is located in France, at the heart of Viticultural Burgundy, between Dijon and Beaune in Nuits-Saint-Georges.
This illustrious company has been based in Nuits St Georges since the days of Pierre Faiveley who founded the business in 1825. His son Joseph gave his name to the family business, to be followed by the first François, Georges who was instrumental in founding the Chevaliers du Tastevin, Guy who developed the business in the Côte Chalonnaise, François who has recently retired and now his son Erwan, born in 1979.
Historically based in the Côte de Nuits capital, the Faiveley family has progressively extended its domaine and today owns vineyards in the finest climats in Burgundy - Gevrey-Chambertin, Pommard, Volnay, Puligny-Montrachet, Mercurey and others. The vineyards are very fragmented. The average surface area per appellation is around just 1 hectare. The number of bottles produced for each wine is therefore very limited.
