Domaine Faiveley "Les Porets St Georges" Nuits St Georges Premier Cru 2021

93 Points Wine Spectator

Boasts generous ripe cherry, currant, sweet spice, wood smoke and underbrush aromas and flavors. Juicy and balanced, with a long, complex and spicy aftertaste. Best from 2025 through 2040. 29 cases imported.

The origins of the appellation’s name are not entirely clear. It could be an ancient word for “poiriers” (meaning pear tree). It is situated in the South of the village in the “Les Porêts” climat and its rustic style is similar to that of the “Les Saint-Georges.” In 1855 this area was stated by Dr. Lavalle to be one of the very best in Nuits. The family is very attached to these vines as they were the very first to be purchased by the Domaine in the 1830’s.
