Grand Cru Burgundy | Profound, Silken, and Exceptionally Refined
Region: Latricières-Chambertin Grand Cru, Gevrey-Chambertin, Burgundy, France
Grape: 100% Pinot Noir
Style: Elegant, mineral-driven, structured, and profoundly age-worthy
Nose:
Highly perfumed and beautifully layered, opening with aromas of wild strawberry, black cherry, red currant, violets, rose petals, forest floor, crushed stone, spice, cedar, and delicate earthy nuances. Subtle hints of smoke, tea leaf, and savoury herbs emerge with aeration, revealing extraordinary Grand Cru complexity.
Palate:
Silken and beautifully precise, showing layers of red cherry, raspberry, black tea, spice, dried herbs, crushed rock minerality, and delicate floral notes. Compared with richer Grand Crus such as Chambertin or Clos de Bèze, Latricières-Chambertin is often admired for its refinement, purity, and mineral tension rather than sheer power. The palate is focused, elegant, and deeply nuanced.
Structure:
Medium-bodied with ultra-fine tannins, vibrant acidity, and exceptional precision. Domaine Faiveley’s style combines classical Burgundy restraint with concentration and ageing potential, often utilising carefully integrated oak to frame rather than dominate the fruit. The 2015 vintage delivered richness and ripeness while preserving remarkable balance and freshness, resulting in a wine of both generosity and refinement.
Finish:
Exceptionally long, lifted, and beautifully persistent, lingering with red berries, spice, crushed stone, floral perfume, and earthy minerality. Seamless, elegant, and quietly profound.
Domaine Faiveley Latricières-Chambertin Grand Cru 2015 represents one of the finest expressions of Grand Cru Pinot Noir from Burgundy’s Côte de Nuits. Domaine Faiveley, founded in 1825, is one of Burgundy’s most historic and respected houses, renowned for producing wines of precision, terroir transparency, and exceptional longevity.
Latricières-Chambertin, situated just south of Chambertin itself, is one of Burgundy’s most elegant Grand Cru sites, known for producing wines of mineral purity, floral aromatics, and refined structure. Often considered more restrained and intellectual than the power-driven Chambertin vineyards, Latricières rewards patience and careful cellaring.
The 2015 vintage in Burgundy is widely celebrated for producing wines of richness, concentration, and remarkable harmony. At Domaine Faiveley, the result is a wine of great sophistication, purity, and ageing potential—already beautiful today, yet capable of evolving gracefully for decades.
The 2015 Burgundy vintage is regarded as one of the strongest of the modern era, characterised by warm, dry conditions and exceptional fruit ripeness balanced by freshness. In the Côte de Nuits, Pinot Noir achieved remarkable concentration without sacrificing elegance, producing wines of both immediate appeal and long-term longevity.
