Faiveley 2018 Gevrey Chambertin "VIeilles Vignes" 750ml

Once again there is just enough reduction to push the fruit to the background but not so much to completely mask the earth and sauvage nuances. The rich, full-bodied and solidly concentrated flavors possess a suave and caressing mouthfeel while exhibiting better balance on the only mildly rustic finale. This is quite good for its level and worth considering.

Score: 88-91 -- Allen Meadows, Burghound.com, 2020
