About this Item

Faiveley
Bienvenues Bâtard-Montrachet, 2009
1 (1 x 1) 750ml

In 1825, pioneer Pierre Faiveley founded a merchant business in Nuits-Saint-Georges. His passion for trading and ageing wines soon led him to purchase his own vine parcels and establish a domaine to grow and produce his own wines. Today, at 115 hectares, Domaine Faiveley is one of the biggest in Burgundy and many consider it one of the best. Under the management of 7th generation Erwan Faiveley and Bernard Hervet as Managing Director, there has been a considerable investment in expanding the domaine’s vineyard holdings, including plots in Pommard, Volnay, Monthélie, Bienvenues-Bâtard-Montrachet and Bâtard-Montrachet and Meursault. Many of Faiveley's top cuvées are bottled by hand with no filtration, resulting in clean, luxurious wines that showcase the best of Pinot Noir. Their concentration and richness are difficult to rival.

Critics Ratings

‘Relatively generous wood sets off a ripe nose of honeysuckle, acacia blossom and liqueur of pear nuances that is followed by mouth coating, powerful and wonderfully rich flavors that possess a luxurious mouth feel due to the abundant amount of extract present on the palate coating finish. This is a big if not especially refined example of Bienvenues that offers an acceptable amount of complexity.’ - Allen Meadows, Burghound.com, 91/100 (Nov 2012)

‘Full yellow. Peach nectar, honey, vanilla and musky lees on the nose. Concentrated, sweet and deep; wonderfully chewy grand cru and surprisingly open-knit today. A saline character adds an element of interest to the lingering finish. This seems approachable now but should have the stuffing to age.’ - Stephen Tanzer, Vinous, 92/100 (Nov 2012)
