Domaine Faiveley is a historic Burgundy producer with a deep respect for tradition. Founded in 1825, the winery has been family-owned for seven generations, and their holdings span across Burgundy’s most prestigious appellations. Today, Erwan and Eve Faiveley continue the family’s legacy of producing exceptional wines that reflect the region’s unique terroir.
Pale yellow with greenish glimmers. The nose reveals fresh, floral aromas and a touch of brioche. The palate is rich and powerful with toasty notes and a pleasant freshness. A lively and direct wine with excellent tension.
This tastes like a 1er cru white Burgundy, but for a much friendlier price. Cool and delicate with a haunting herbal freshness. Very sophisticated with excellent concentration. Fantastic graceful texture on the quite sleek and focused medium-bodied palate. Very long, clean and cool finish. From organically grown grapes. Drink or hold.
Aromas of citrus zest, white flowers and oyster shell introduce the 2022 Ladoix Les Marnes Blanches, a medium-bodied, taut and chalky wine with a tangy spine of acidity and a saline finish. It's one of the insider's choices chez Faiveley. (W. Kelley)
Subtle but not imperceptible wood frames the vaguely exotic nose of white peach, spiced pear and orange peel. The finer and equally energetic medium weight flavors also exude even minerality on the balanced and youthfully austere finale that is dry but not quite as dry as the Clos Rochette. Lovely for what this is and worth considering.
The 2022 Ladoix Blanc Les Marnes Blanches comes from a three-hectare block. It has a brisk lime cordial and citrus-scented bouquet. The taut, fresh palate has just a touch of chai tea infusing the citrus fruit and moderate length. Enjoy over the next 3-4 years.
Tank sample. Tight and introvert. Lots of lime flavour. More youthful and less winning than Faiveley’s 2022 Clos Rochette from Mercurey. (JR)
