Domaine Faiveley Description
Wine runs deep in the Faiveley family’s blood, as they have been rooted in Bourgogne, its history, and its culture for almost two centuries now. Their values have remained unchanged over the last seven generations and are based on a deep attachment to the Bourgogne region, an instinctive passion for the terroirs, and an innate respect for man and his work. Today, the Faiveley family is one of the most important owners of diverse vineyards in Burgundy totaling 134 hectares, with holdings spreading from the Côte de Nuits to the Côte Chalonnaise, producing polished, collectible reds and whites.
In 1879, Puligny added its name to that of its more renowned Grand Cru: Montrachet. The exceptional terroirs of Puligny-Montrachet offer optimum conditions for the Chardonnay grape variety. The “Champ Gain” climat covers 10 hectares of vines situated just below “La Garenne” on the upper parts of the hillside. The name of this parcel signifies “land reclamation on the forest”. The domaine has owned this climat since the 2014 vintage.
Sourced from an approximate 1 ha holding near the Truffière side of the vineyard.
Wine Advocate: 91-93 Points
The 2023 Puligny-Montrachet 1er Cru Champ Gain has turned out nicely, offering up aromas of pear, freshly baked bread and toasted nuts, followed by a medium to full-bodied, satiny and textural palate, concluding with a long, saline finish.
Burghound: 90-92 Points
A discreet application of wood is present on the ripe aromas of apple compote, petrol and citrus confit along with a floral top note. The racy, delicious and nicely detailed middle weight flavors exude a subtle minerality on the bitter lemon-inflected finale. This could use better depth but I like the balance so it should age well over the medium-term.
