Faiveley Charmes-Chambertin Grand Cru 2017

The 2017 Domaine Faiveley Charmes-Chambertin Grand Cru is a distinguished Pinot Noir from Gevrey-Chambertin in the Cote de Nuits region of Burgundy. This wine presents an attractive deep ruby red hue and a rich aromatic profile featuring small red fruits, spice, and floral notes, particularly roses. On the palate, it is described as seductive and suave, offering a fleshy texture with silky, polished tannins that provide an elegant and long finish. Produced from vines grown on clay-rich brown soils with iron deposits, it was aged for 16 to 18 months in French oak barrels. While enjoyable starting around 2022, this Grand Cru possesses the structure for aging and is expected to evolve favorably through 2031. It pairs exceptionally well with classic dishes such as roast duck, quail, or rib steak and is best served at a temperature of 16 degrees Celsius.
