Domaine Faiveley Nuits-St-Georges Aux Chaignots 2017

Lovely, sweet strawberries with orange peel and hints of spices, such as nutmeg. It’s medium-bodied with fine, polished and well integrated tannins, creating a nice frame for the wine. 

Dense and full of black-cherry fruits, this is a richly textured wine. Its concentration and firm tannins are there for the long haul, although it is tempting to drink such a delicious wine young. 

A much spicier and more floral-suffused nose blends a touch of wood with aromas of red and dark cherry and earth. The refined, pure and energetic middle weight flavors possess good delineation on the youthfully austere and sneaky long finish. This will need to develop better depth to merit the upper end of my projected range but it is already certainly very pretty.
