Description / Reviews
"The fruit of our meticulous selection from our 20 plots, spanning some 10 hectares, these old vines are over forty-five years old. Our wine seduces with its exceptionally intense aromas, revealing notes of ripe red fruit sublimated by animalistic nuances. The exceptional characteristics of Gevrey-Chambertin are authentically revealed by our old vines. Delightful aromas of ripe dark berries immediately entice the nose, while the palate exudes rich, powerful flavours." - Domaine Faiveley, Winemaker
"Initially somewhat reticent, the 2024 village Gevrey from Faiveley opens on the palate, revealing black cherry fruit with hints of earth and spice. It is a classic Gevrey, well done at this level, with firm, slightly grippy tannins, moderate density and a lingering finish. It is fully ripe, not astringent. This is a large cuvée for Faiveley, blended from substantial holdings throughout the village, and it has done well in a difficult year. As of next year, Faiveley will be compelled to drop Vieilles Vignes designation, since they do not produce a 'regular' cuvée. (Drink between 2028-2040)" - 92 Points, Charles Curtis MW, Decanter
"Erwan Faiveley told me that the 2024 Gevrey-Chambertin Vieilles Vignes may be the final vintage due to re-planting in recent years, whereby now the younger vines are performing better than the older. This was showing a bit of reduction on the nose, with red plum and strawberry fruit underneath. The palate is medium-bodied with light tannins and brambly red fruit with a touch of white pepper, slipping down the throat easily even at this stage. (Drink between 2027-2035)" - Neal Martin, Vinous
