Faiveley produce 40,000 bottles of this lovely cuvée, which represents superb value. An appealing bouquet of strawberry, raspberry and coniferous forest floor, with subtle meaty bass notes, precedes a medium-full, supple and flavourful wine with a nice core of sweet fruit and fine, melted tannins.

One of the most reliable wines in the Côte Chalonnaise, so good to see it performing well in a blind tasting. Appealing raspberry fruit, with quite a bit of oak influence, at this price level. Good focus, length and balance. What’s not to like?
