2023 Faiveley Bourgogne Rouge, Burgundy

Regional Burgundy is where many wine lovers begin their journey into Pinot Noir, and few producers elevate the category like Maison Joseph Faiveley. Established in 1825 and still family owned, the estate applies the same meticulous vineyard care and thoughtful winemaking to its Bourgogne Rouge as it does to its prestigious Premier and Grand Cru wines, creating a bottle that delivers authenticity, balance and unmistakable Burgundian character.

The 2023 vintage produced beautifully expressive fruit, combining ripe flavours with vibrant acidity and aromatic lift. Sourced from selected vineyards across Burgundy, the wine reflects the region's limestone rich soils and cool climate, producing a Pinot Noir that is approachable in its youth while remaining true to its origins. Gentle oak maturation enhances texture without overshadowing the purity of the fruit.

Bright ruby in colour, the bouquet is fragrant with aromas of red cherry, raspberry and cranberry layered with violet, subtle spice and delicate earthy notes. The palate is supple and energetic, offering juicy red berry flavours supported by fine tannins and fresh acidity. A touch of savoury complexity and a clean mineral finish complete this elegant and highly drinkable expression of Burgundy.

Perfect with roast chicken, grilled salmon, duck pâté, mushroom quiche or a board of cured meats and soft cheeses. Ready to enjoy now, it also has the balance to develop additional complexity over the next few years.
