Reviewed February 2018The very spicy perfumed nose draws you into this rich wine. Shows a hint of earth and quite substantial tannins,which are already beautifully integrated. The finish long and rather sophisticated.

Wine Advocate
A domaine bottling for Faiveley, the 2016 Gevrey-Chambertin Vieilles Vignes bursts from the glass with a rich and wild bouquet of grilled meats, earthy cassis, red cherries, spices and rose petals. On the palate, it's medium to full-bodied, fleshy and muscular, with a succulent core of fruit, fine but youthfully chewy tannins and a long, enticingly carnal finish. While the new style chez Faiveley is beautifully polished, I found this cuvée strangely reminiscent of the wines of the erstwhile Domaine Maume—certainly an unexpected analogy. (WK)

Wine Spectator
The cherry and plum fruit is shaded by sweet spice notes in this elegant red. Balanced and long, echoing spice and incense details on the finish. (BS)
