jamessuckling.com, July 2024

Beautiful nose of fresh Damson plums with a slew of delicate, spicy nuances. For anyone who thinks that great Burgundy must be delicate and silky, here is the firm and deeply structured answer to that one-sided viewpoint...

Wine Spectator, December 2024

Marked by toasty new oak, vanilla and resin notes, this red also reveals a core of cherry, raspberry, earth and mineral flavors. Broad and powerful, backed by bright acidity and fine-grained, chalky tannins. Though long...

Jasper Morris Inside Burgundy, October 2023

(94-96 points) A brilliant intense purple. Immediately on the nose there is a nobility over and above anything else in the cellar. The fruit swells across the palate without losing its sense of identity. There is an...

Robert Parker's Wine Advocate, January 2024

(WA 94-96 points) The 2022 Corton Grand Cru Clos des Cortons Faiveley is also a real success, unfurling in the glass with rich aromas of cherries, berries, peonies, licorice and spices, followed by a medium to...

Vinous, January 2024

(VN 94-96 points) The 2022 Corton Clos des Cortons Faiveley Grand Cru has a potent nose: think of grandmother's potpourri you smelled in her old house. It almost overwhelms that red fruit behind it. The palate is...

Burghound, January 2024

The 2022 Faiveley Corton Clos des Cortons Grand Cru is a notable Pinot Noir from Burgundy's Cote de Beaune region, specifically the Aloxe Corton appellation. Produced by Domaine Faiveley, this wine has received high praise from several professional reviewers, highlighting its complexity and potential for aging.

James Suckling awarded it an impressive score of 97, describing the wine as having a "beautiful nose of fresh Damson plums" with "delicate, spicy nuances." He emphasized its firm and deeply structured nature, noting its "stony wild herb character" and "extremely long" finish. Suckling suggests that while it is drinkable now, it will be best enjoyed from 2027 onwards.

Vinous also rated the wine highly, with Neal Martin giving it 94-96 points. Martin noted its "potent nose" reminiscent of "grandmother's potpourri," combined with "pure red cherry" and "wild strawberry" flavors. He described it as one of the more elegant Cortons, with a "touch of piquancy" on the finish, recommending it be enjoyed after 8-10 years.

William Kelley from Robert Parker's Wine Advocate echoed these sentiments, scoring it 96 points and appreciating its "rich aromas of cherries, berries, peonies, licorice, and spices." Kelley highlighted its "medium to full-bodied" nature and "tightly wound core," predicting it will be long-lived.

Decanter's review also praised the wine's freshness and liveliness, assigning it a score of 95. The review noted the wine's "forward red and black fruit character" and "pronounced floral edge," supported by a "supple but reasonably dense" texture.

Wine Spectator matched James Suckling's score of 97, highlighting the wine's "toasty new oak, vanilla, and resin notes" alongside cherry and raspberry flavors. The review emphasized the wine's "broad and powerful" nature, suggesting it will be best from 2029 through 2048.
