Faiveley Clos De Vougeot Grand Cru 2017

The 2017 Domaine Faiveley Clos de Vougeot Grand Cru is a powerful and refined Burgundy Pinot Noir sourced from three distinct parcels within the iconic walled vineyard. This deep ruby red wine offers a complex aromatic profile of dark cherries, plums, and wild berries, accented by floral notes of rose and violet and subtle earthy undertones. On the palate, it is well structured and full bodied, displaying a smooth attack followed by powerful, firm tannins and a tangible sense of minerality. Aged for 16 to 18 months in French oak, the wine balances its concentrated dark fruit with a cool freshness that leads into an exceptionally long and complex finish. This classic vintage is approachable in its youth but possesses the depth and acidity to age gracefully, making it an ideal pairing for duck, goose, or game birds.
