Joseph Faiveley 2007 Les Clos Grand Cru Chardonnay (Chablis)
- $117
A wine with great substance, a rounded, lightly toasty character giving richness. It doesn’t lose the freshness of Chablis, with the pear and green plum fruits lifted by a fine grapefruit and lime citrus character. Worth aging for 4–5 years, but already ready to drink. Imported by Wilson Daniels Ltd.

Joseph Faiveley 2007 Les Preuses Grand Cru Chardonnay (Chablis)
- Cellar Selection
- Online Exclusive
- $108
A rich wine, with delicious juicy white fruit flavors that roll around the mouth. The fruits are right up front initially, but then the structure of toast, apple skin tannins and some spice come in, giving fine complexity, promising good aging. Keep for 4–5 years, probably more. Imported by Wilson Daniels Ltd. Cellar Selection.

Joseph Faiveley 2010 Santenots Premier Cru Pinot Noir (Volnay)
- $100
A beautifully perfumed wine from one of Volnay’s top vineyards, this delights with its aromatic red fruits, ripe tannins and balancing acids. It is still settling down and will certainly round out over the next years when its more sumptuous side will come forward.

Joseph Faiveley 2006 Pinot Noir (Gevrey-Chambertin)
- $71
By using the brand Joseph Faiveley for its négociant wines, made from purchased grapes, Faiveley is able to distinguish this range from its domaine wines. This Gevrey is luxuriously perfumed, finely structured with dusty tannins and already delicious Pinot Noir. It has a fine strain of acidity, which adds freshness to the solid character.

Joseph Faiveley 2007 Vaillons Premier Cru Chardonnay (Chablis)
- $53
A properly steely, mineral-structured wine. It has citrus, pink grapefruit, green berries and a great core of tight fruits and acidity. With its green apple skin structure, this is vibrant and deliciously taut. Imported by Wilson Daniels Ltd.

Joseph Faiveley 2009 Blagny Premier Cru Chardonnay (Meursault)
A spicy but austere wine, with the emphasis on wood, apple acidity and citrus. There is some riper fruit (pineapple), but the wine remains textured, taut and nervy.

Joseph Faiveley 2007 Pinot Noir (Gevrey-Chambertin)
- $70
A firm, structured wine, big and bold, bursting with black cherry fruits, plums, figs and a dry core of dark tannins. It has all the bravura of the appellation.

Joseph Faiveley 2010 Pinot Noir (Gevrey-Chambertin)
- $70
Light colored and fruity, this is all about red fruit—its structure and firm tannins coming out slowly. This village wine demonstrates the richness of the appellation, showing a fine balance between its ripe fruit and its smoky, dry, tannic core.
