The 2022 Domaine Faiveley Gevrey Chambertin Vieilles Vignes is a distinguished Pinot Noir hailing from the renowned Burgundy region of France, specifically the Cote de Nuits sub-region within the Gevrey Chambertin appellation. This wine showcases the typical characteristics of a classic Burgundy red and is crafted by the esteemed producer, Domaine Faiveley.

This wine is noted for its intense flavor profile, as highlighted by a review from Wine Spectator. The publication awarded it a commendable score of 91 points, describing it as "an intensely flavored red, featuring cherry, raspberry, boysenberry and earth flavors." This suggests a complex and well-rounded wine that balances fruitiness with earthy undertones. The presence of firm, powdery tannins on the finish indicates a structure that will likely benefit from some aging, with the reviewer suggesting it will be best enjoyed between 2027 and 2038.

Bottled with a traditional cork closure, the 2022 Domaine Faiveley Gevrey Chambertin Vieilles Vignes is a red wine with an alcohol content of 13.0%. This moderate alcohol level is typical for a Pinot Noir from this region, allowing the intricate flavors to shine without being overshadowed by alcohol warmth.

This wine is a representation of the legacy and tradition of Burgundy winemaking, capturing the essence of its terroir with finesse. Its aging potential makes it a candidate for cellaring, promising to develop further complexity over the years. The 2022 vintage, with its balance of fruit and earth flavors, is a noteworthy addition to the lineup from Domaine Faiveley, reflecting the quality and precision of their winemaking practices.
