Domaine Faiveley – Bâtard-Montrachet Grand Cru – White – 2022:

 

The Zenith of White Burgundy: Faiveley Bâtard-Montrachet Grand Cru

As a benchmark for high-end Chardonnay, Bâtard-Montrachet Grand Cru represents the pinnacle of the Côte de Beaune. Domaine Faiveley, a custodian of this legendary terroir, crafts a wine defined by profound structure, intensity, and remarkable aging potential. This is a profound statement wine.

Sommelier Tasting Profile

The wine exhibits a brilliant pale gold colour. The nose is complex and intense, revealing layers of toasted hazelnut, fresh dairy butter, candied citrus, and a defining chalky minerality. On the palate, expect exceptional richness and sustained power. The texture is creamy, yet a perfectly integrated acidity provides necessary tension, leading to a very long finish of acacia honey and subtle sweet spices.

Service & Cellaring

This wine is a superb match for classic, high-end gastronomy. Serve slightly cool, between 12-14°C. For optimal enjoyment of its tertiary notes, this wine is best cellared for a minimum of 8-10 years post-vintage.
