Domaine Faiveley Nuits-St-Georges Les Porêts Saint-Georges 1er Cru 2011
Gevrey-Chambertin, Côtes de Nuits, Côte d'Or, Burgundy, FranceCool ripe floral nose with mineral, cherry and cassis notes. The palate is juicy and packed with seriously slick plummy/cherry fruit. Love the elegance here and the aromatics that keep this wine fresh and lively despite a fullness and density of texture. Erwan Faiveley credits the use of stems, about 25 percent, for producing softer tannins and more mouthfeel.
