MUSIGNY GRAND CRU FAIVELEY 2017, 75CL
Today, Domaine Faiveley owns 12 hectares of Grands Crus and 27 hectares of Premiers Crus, three of which have a monopoly: the Gevrey-Chambertin Premier Cru "Clos des Issarts", the Beaune Premier Cru "Clos de l'Ecu" and the essential Corton Grand Cru "Clos des Cortons Faiveley".
Moderately strong reduction flattens the underlying fruit today and all that can be discerned is the wood treatment. More interesting are the rich, velvety and fresh broad-shouldered flavors that are at once seductive yet serious while delivering good if not truly distinguished depth and persistence.
