Description
Domaine Faiveley, one of Burgundy's most prestigious wineries, was founded in 1825 and has been run for almost two centuries by the Faiveley family. Today led by Erwan Faiveley, the winery remains faithful to tradition, but with a modern approach, combining traditional winemaking techniques with innovative methods. Faiveley Bourgogne Chardonnay is a single varietal wine of 100% Chardonnay from selected vineyards in different parcels of Burgundy, which gives it a great richness and complexity of flavours.
The vineyards are planted on predominantly limestone marl and clay soils, characteristic of the Burgundy region. These soils provide excellent water retention, ideal for the balanced development of the vines and the mineral expression of Chardonnay. Thanks to the region's continental climate, the grapes reach optimum ripeness, retaining the vibrant acidity and characteristic freshness that are the signature of this wine.
Winemaking
Faiveley Bourgogne Chardonnay is made using carefully selected grapes and precise vinification techniques. After the harvest, the grapes undergo a fermentation process in stainless steel tanks, controlled at low temperatures to preserve the fresh, fruity aromas of the Chardonnay.
Ageing is a fundamental aspect of this wine. Faiveley Bourgogne Chardonnay ages for 8 to 10 months on its fine lees, which gives it a silky texture and enhances its aromatic complexity. A percentage of the production matures in French oak barrels, specially selected to add subtle notes of vanilla and light toasty hints, without overshadowing the fruity and mineral expression of the variety.
Taste
On the palate, Faiveley Bourgogne Chardonnay is a fresh and harmonious wine, with an acidity that brings vivacity and balance. It has aromas of white fruits such as green apple and pear, along with delicate floral notes and a touch of minerality that highlights its Burgundian origin. On the palate, creamy nuances and a subtle hint of hazelnut and vanilla also stand out, reflecting its ageing on lees and in oak barrels.
It is a medium-bodied wine, but with a remarkable persistence on the palate, ideal for pairing with baked fish, seafood and poultry dishes or mild cheeses. This Chardonnay offers a complete sensory experience, highlighting the distinctive character of the region and the care taken in its production.
Faiveley Bourgogne Chardonnay is a high quality wine that captures the essence of Burgundy in every sip, making it an excellent choice for both wine lovers and those seeking to discover the charm and complexity of a good Burgundy Chardonnay.
