Elegant and juicy, this stretches out courtesy of its vibrant acidity, with a light dusting of tannins in the end. Best from 2028 through 2045. 227 cases made.” Drink: 2028 - 2045 \u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e92 POINTS - Charles Curtis MW - Decanter, Oct 2025\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cem\u003e“Medium ruby colour and crushed, spicy fruit announce a Nuits that is on the lighter side. The tannins are firm and somewhat astringent. Winemaker Jérôme Flous remarked that this was one of the sites hardest hit by the weather: Faiveley has 1.3 hectares in production and managed only a couple of barrels. This should drink soon after bottling and will be suited to mid-term ageing at most.” Drink: 2028 - 2040 \u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWinery\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003eWine runs deep in the Faiveley family’s blood, as they have been deeply rooted in Bourgogne, its history, and its culture for almost two centuries now. Their values have remained unchanged over the last seven generations and are based on a deep attachment to the Bourgogne region, an instinctive passion for the terroirs, and an innate respect for man and his work. Today they are one of the largest owners in Burgundy, with holdings spreading from the Côte de Nuits to the Côte Chalonnaise, featuring polished, collectible reds and whites with exceptionally high ratings.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWine\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003eThe origins of the appellation’s name are not entirely clear. It could be an ancient word for “poiriers” (meaning pear tree). It is situated in the South of the village in the “Les Porêts” climate and its rustic style is similar to that of the “Les Saint-Georges”. In 1855 this area was stated by Dr. Lavalle to be one of the very best in Nuits. The family is very attached to these vines as they were the very first to be purchased by the Domaine in the 1830s.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eVineyards\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003ePlot: 1.69 ha. The vines from this vineyard produce a powerful, structured and tannic wine typical of Nuits-Saint-Georges. Its distinctive character stems from the deep, stony, brown limestone soils.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eVintage Notes\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003eThe 2024 season was marked by persistent rainfall and cooler than average temperatures, especially through spring. Budburst began in early April, with flowering by mid June. Drier, sunnier weather in July and August supported slow, even ripening, and veraison started around mid August. Harvest took place in mild conditions, with a warm north wind in mid-September helping concentrate sugars. Overall, the vintage was defined by a long, gradual, and balanced growing season.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWinemaking\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003eThe wines are punched down daily in order to extract color, tannins and aromas from the skin of the grapes. After a 19 day vatting period, the alcoholic fermentation is complete. The free-run wine is run off using a gravity system whilst the marc is pressed slowly and gently in order to extract an exceptionally pure press wine.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTasting Notes\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003eDeep ruby red color. The nose discloses black fruits, toasty notes and a hint of oak. The smooth, round attack gives way to a powerful and structured mid-palate. A well-balanced and very persistent wine with excellent aging potential.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Domaine Faiveley","offers":[{"title":"1 Bottle","offer_id":67927274684525,"sku":"NEGNWPR1D319","price":242.99,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1421\/5622\/files\/15420225093741-DomaineFaiveleyNuits-Saint-Georges1erCruLesPorets-Saint-Georges2024.jpg?v=1793729309","url":"https:\/\/worldwine.com.au\/products\/domaine-faiveley-nuits-saint-georges-1er-cru-les-porets-saint-georges-2024","provider":"World Wine","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
