The last few years have seen a style change here and a dramatic acquisition programme involving the purchase of several domaines. A lot of thought and investment have gone into making the wine finer than in the past, and this is paying off handsomely.
Perhaps it’s the domaine’s size, or its reputation for making sturdy, tannic wines in the past, but a certain snobbishness towards wines from here lingers. However, they develop brilliantly: at a blind tasting in 2019, a 2008 Gevrey Cazetiers outshone grander wines from Rousseau, Roumier and Cathiard.
To ignore them is to lose out.
A well organised domaine like Faiveley made light work of the 2022 vintage. Nothing bad happened. Damage from spring frosts was avoided; threats from mildew were quickly dealt with; there was enough rain to prevent serious drought. Indeed, in June it rained heavily in the entire Côte, particularly in Gevrey, where a good deal of soil from the hillside vineyards was washed away, which then had to be laboriously carried back up again.
The wines are balanced and very expressive, with excellent energy and purity.
