Domaine Faiveley (Joseph Faiveley)
Bienvenues-Bâtard-Montrachet Grand Cru Chardonnay
Puligny-Montrachet, Côte de Beaune, Burgundy, France
The first of the whites at the Grand Cru Burgundy Dinner. Stone fruit on the nose and a little citrus. Grand Cru concentration, length and intensity, coming together nicely at 8 years of age, although still taut. Some toast and a note of mandarin. The importer, Ramon, from Negociants said this was from a 3 Hectare block using 50% new oak. Ramon said there were 4 bottles of this available for sale in Australia and all used up on this dinner. Very very good. I ended up buying a bottle of the 2017 which was a great year for White Burgundy.
