Faiveley’s recent renaissance. It shows emergent aromas of dark cherries and red berries, and a very subtle layer of spicy oak joins those notes in the wine’s flavors, which are fresh and delicate but not without substance or length. Enjoyable now with white meats or other moderately flavorful foods, this nevertheless has sufficient headroom to develop additional softness and complexity with a few years of cellaring.
