Domaine Faiveley (Joseph Faiveley)
Corton-Clos des Cortons Faiveley Pinot Noir
Côte de Beaune, Burgundy, France
Quite dense in colour. A little closed on nose and palate after the initial decant. Dark red fruits with cherry to the fore - with air an intense aroma of earth and forest floor with dried fruits which follow through to the medium to full bodied palate finishing with persistent tannins. Overall this is latent with more development to come in the future. Again the 2005 vintage proves to be long living particularly for Grand Crus. In hindsight probably would’ve been good to open up in up to 5 years time. Some astringency on the finish.
