2023 Faiveley
It would be remiss to even mention good value Burgundy without first talking about Faiveley. No one’s missed the seismic shift at the domaine over the past two decades. We'll be out shortly with the full offer of the just released 2023's, in the meantime, here are your Faivourites ;)
'Jérôme Flous and his team can't seem to put a foot wrong at Faiveley; and given the high level of vineyard management and skill and precision brought to bear in the winery and the cellar, I think it's fair to say this is one of the finest larger domaine and négociant operations in Burgundy in terms of both quality and consistency. The 2023 vintage has delivered a crop of supple, sensual reds and fleshy but precise whites that will offer broad drinking windows.' William Kelley, The Wine Advocate
Some words on the 2023 red Burgundy vintage from from Neal Martin:
Two thousand twenty-three is unequivocally a “vignerons’ vintage.” Those that made the right decisions in the vineyard had the potential to make great wines of either color at optimal yields.

The best wines can be summed up in a single word… Charm.
