Faiveley 2005 Clos des Cortons Pinot Noir (Corton)
- Cellar Selection
- $195
One of Faiveley’s monopoles (wholly owned vineyards), Clos des Cortons makes powerful wines. That’s the case in 2005. This wine towers up, a strong edifice of tannins and big, black fruits. It has all the right elements coming into place, along with weight and some elegance.

Faiveley 2004 Pinot Noir (Mazis-Chambertin)
- Cellar Selection
- $123
From a 3.75-acre parcel of this grand cru, this is stunning red Burgundy, amazingly complex, lushly fruited and—yes—ageworthy. Plum and black cherry flavors lead the way, but they’re joined by notes of meat, earth, wild game, mushroom and saddle leather. Full and lush in the mouth, this is richly tannic but not hard, as some vintages have been in the past.

Faiveley 2005 Les Clos Grand Cru Chardonnay (Chablis)
- Online Exclusive
- $88
A powerfully ripe, toasty wine, showing all the richness of 2005 in Chablis, and adding a layer of structure to go with the apples and cream richness. At the center, there is green minerality.

Faiveley 2004 Clos des Cortons Pinot Noir (Corton)
- $102
Although this is dominated at this young stage by wood, you can get through the firm, spicy character to the dark, heady fruit flavors. It has concealed power and intensity of ripe, elegant fruit. It needs at least 10 years to mature.

Faiveley 2004 Clos de Vougeot Pinot Noir (Clos de Vougeot)
- Cellar Selection
- $111
The Faiveley style for big, bold statements suits this wine. It’s powerful, concentrated, dense and rich. There are intense black plum flavors while the tannins are well in balance with the richness of the wine.

Faiveley 1996 Blanc Clos Rochette White (Mercurey)
- $29
Shows lots of toast on the nose; yeasty and lemony, almost like a blanc de blancs Champagne. Tastes rich and bold. A powerful statement of Chardonnay in its earthiest, most mineral guise. Complex and strong.

Faiveley 2007 Blagny Premier Cru Chardonnay (Meursault)
- $45
There is a fine balance here between wood and deliciously rich fruit. It gives a ripe wine that fills the glass with spice, apricots and a crisp citrus zest. The wine glows ripely to the finish.
