The wines marked Joseph Faiveley below are négociant wines; the others are estate wines.
2017 Mercurey Clos Rochette
Tasting even better from bottle in February 2019 than it did from tank sample the previous November, this wine shows density, and oily texture, and minerality. 90/A
2017 Ladoix
This vineyard was planted in Pinot Noir when Jérôme Flous began at Faiveley in 2007; in 2009, because the vineyard had ripening problems, it was decided to replant in Chardonnay, which was done in 2011, part in massale selection, part in high quality clones. Although the vines here are still very young, some in massale selection, young vines can sometimes produce outstanding products in their first years, and that’s the case here. The wine shows minerality, good concentration and a touch of oiliness and butteriness. There’s a bit more breadth here than in the Mercurey. (89-92)
2017 Meursault (Joseph Faiveley)
This wine is medium-weight with concentration and minerality and a hint of Meursault butteriness. (91-93)
2017 Meursault 1er Cru Blagny (Joseph Faiveley)
Here we have excellent acidic cut, lightness, nervosity, very good energy, stoniness, and minerality. There are incipient peach flavors that should develop. (92-95)
2017 Puligny-Montrachet 1er Cru Champ Gain
The Puligny-Champ Gain is light, elegant, and concentrated with lime fruit and minerality. The wine has roundness with energy. (92-94)
2017 Bienvenue-Bâtard-Montrachet
The Bienvenue-Bâtard-Montrachet is precise, pure, intense, energetic, nervy, steely. Is has focused minerality and some richness of texture. (93-96)
2017 Bâtard-Montrachet
The Bâtard-Montrachet is pure, mineral, strict, light, penetrating, nervous, and elegant. The fruit is restrained for now, but it’s there and will come forth. (94-96)
2017 Corton-Charlemagne
Last, the Corton-Charlemagne is completely different in character, as it should be. The wine is classic for the terroir, tightly wound, sensual, all-enveloping, with good minerality, vanillin, depth, balance, precision, and tension It has elegance but power, too. (94-96)
