2017 Charmes-Chambertin Grand Cru, Domaine Faiveley

This was one of Faiveley’s most thrilling wines in 2015 and 2016, and the same is true this year. The vines are very old, giving a tiny harvest of great concentration. This has deep colour, with complex, gorgeous aromas. Palate is powerfully mouth-filling, with opulent texture, great length and creamy, soft aftertaste. A sensational wine which may be enjoyed while youthful (for drinking 2020-2030+).
