The 2020 Domaine Faiveley Charmes-Chambertin Grand Cru is a classic Grand Cru Burgundy from one of Gevrey-Chambertin’s most celebrated vineyards. Produced by Domaine Faiveley, this Pinot Noir combines the generosity and richness typical of Charmes-Chambertin with the structure and precision that have made the estate one of Burgundy’s leading names.
The nose is expressive and layered, offering aromas of black cherry, wild strawberry and ripe plum alongside notes of rose petal, baking spice, forest floor and subtle oak. On the palate, it is concentrated yet refined, with silky tannins, vibrant acidity and impressive depth of flavour. Layers of red and dark berry fruit unfold alongside earthy and mineral nuances, leading to a long, elegant finish with excellent balance and persistence.
Ben’s Recommendation: At Wine More Cellars, this is a superb choice for Burgundy collectors and Pinot Noir enthusiasts seeking a Grand Cru that combines power with approachability. Pair with roast duck, game birds, beef Wellington or wild mushroom dishes. While already enjoyable with careful decanting, this wine has the structure and complexity to develop beautifully over the next 15–20 years.
