Maison Joseph Faiveley, Chambertin

Maison Joseph Faiveley, ChambertinNA

The palate reveals very good balance between power and elegance with ripe

moderately austere and much less compact finale

soften and show off its silky

tension and stimulating salinity

with concentration and freshnesswhat you're aiming for in a wine like this where pure power might be too much

mintiness to the lightly wooded nose of pear

Good deep red

This is one of the icon wines of the appellation

At the same time in keeping with its having been harvested immediately after significant rainfall there isnt the focused sense of concentration that applies to this years Scharzhofberg Spätlesen or to a more typical Müller Kabinett

The broad finish features dusty tannins and lovely floral persistence

finishing earthy

this needs time to unfurl
