Joseph Faiveley, Beaune 1er Cru (Burgundy, France) 2010

Feb 13, 2013

By Michael Franz

 Very serious for a wine from Beaune, this is sourced from a monopole site owned by Faiveley.  It shows as much black cherry as red cherry profile to the fruit, with very nice backnotes of fresh meat, wild mushrooms and woodsmoke.  Still rather taut with acidity but already quite expressive in aroma and flavor, this is delicious now but sure to improve for a minimum of 5 years.
