2022 Faiveley Bourgogne Chardonnay, Burgundy

Brimming with candied lemon and fresh pomelo aromas. Very attractive interplay of discrete fruit, flinty character and fine tannins on the quite sleek, medium-bodied palate. Remarkable mineral character in the finish for the humble appellation. A cuvee that is half from domaine vineyards in the Cote Chalonnais and half from the Cote d’Or. Matured primarily in oak casks, plus a smaller part in stainless steel.

A brilliant pale greenish-yellow colour. The very nice expressive nose has white flower scents. The attack is bold and generous. This wine, which is balanced on the palate, has good volume and quite exceptional long-lasting scents and tastes for a Bourgogne blanc. This is a good value wine that can be enjoyed from now on.
