* Expert NoteJanuary 12, 2012
Pure strawberry aromas and flavors on this seductive wine. It has the freshest of fruit and acidity, with lighter tannins. It is a pleasure to drink already, but could age for 3–4 years.

Beautifully perfumed wine, with fresh red fruits and some fine tannins. The wood element is perhaps too dominant for the weight of the wine. Hopefully this will subside. Give it 3–4 years.

This single-vineyard monopoly produces impressive wine, some of the best in the Mercurey region. This 2006 is no exception, a finely structured wine that shows dry tannins, only the faintest hint of wood, and plenty of rich ruby fruit flavors: red plums and berries. Worth aging for 5–10 years. Imported by Wilson Daniels Ltd. Cellar Selection.

There is stunning perfume on this archetypal Pinot Noir. The tannins are soft for a Gevrey, but the red fruits are pure, giving a character that is both firm and sensuous. It is not a wine for long-term aging, but worth keeping for 2–3 years.

Attractively structured, with a dry core surrounded by vibrant red fruits, this is a wine that is fruity and fresh, with some good density of texture. The character is ripe, a style that offers easy drinking now, but that could age for 3–4 years. Imported by Wilson Daniels Ltd.

Nuits-St-Georges is Faiveley’s home base, so they know a thing or two when it comes to making a village wine. This is a wine that manages to combine the mineral toughness of Nuits bottlings with an extra layer of rich plum skin and juice flavor. There is a light strawberry jam character that offers some final sweetness.

Soft, rich, but still with fine acidity to keep the freshness, this is a white fruit- and citrus-flavored wine that broadens well in the mouth. The fruit is ripe, hinting at almonds, with just a light toast edge. Imported by Wilson Daniels Ltd.

Friendly, accessible, this wine exudes white fruits and soft acidity. It is not heavy, but more finely balanced, the structure coming from fruit skins rather than the hint of wood. With its juicy acidity, the wine finishes with a tasty flourish. Imported by Wilson Daniels Ltd.

Always right at the top of Faiveley’s wines, this is an impressive bottle for 2007. It has weight, a seamless texture that passes from firm tannins to sweet fruit. The acidity, which fits into the arc of the wine, and the tannins promise aging over many years.

Dark and tannic, this is a wine with a dense core that influences the stalky, plum skin-flavored fruit. The tannins remain closed, dry and tight, and this wine needs at least two years to open out.
