At the crossroads of Burgundian tradition and a decidedly contemporary vision of finesse, the Bourgogne Pinot Noir 2022 from Domaine Faiveley embodies purity and grace. For those seeking a vibrant, digestible and precise red, this bottle provides a clear reading of Pinot Noir, centred on fruit freshness and a finely chiselled texture. It meets the need for a versatile wine, generous without weight, that accompanies everyday cooking as well as carefully curated sharing moments. The Faiveley signature is expressed here through meticulous élevage and a rigorous selection of parcels, primarily rooted in the Côte de Nuits. In the glass, the generosity of the 2022 vintage meets a straight, mouthwatering backbone, composing a wine of beautiful aromatic purity. A wine for conversation as well as the table, it flows naturally from the first nose to the last glass with pleasing consistency.

Assemblage et vinification

Made exclusively from Pinot Noir of the 2022 harvest, this Bourgogne AOC comes from parcels mainly located in the Côte de Nuits. Cellar work aims to preserve the precision of the fruit and the vibrancy of the material. The 12 to 14 months ageing in tank refines the contours, polishing the tannins while retaining the wine’s youthful energy. This controlled vinification allows a clear, unadorned aromatic expression and ensures a good reading of the terroir. The alcohol level, 12.5%, contributes to the overall balance, offering a sensation of freshness and drinkability that suits lovers of graceful, precise reds.

Tasting notes

• Appearance : Brilliant ruby with violet hues, clear and glossy, announcing an expression focused on fruit.
• Nose : Delicate bouquet of morello cherry, violet and peony, lifted by a touch of licorice and a fine peppery note. With aeration, a mineral thread emerges, adding depth and structure.
• Palate : Soft, fruity attack, juicy flesh and a lithe profile. Tannins are fresh and finely edged, driving a crunchy, mouthwatering finish that calls for food.

Serving temperature and tips

Serve at 14°C in wide tulip glasses to honour the bouquet and allow the texture to open up. An airing of about 1 hour is recommended to fully reveal the floral dimension and mineral tension. Store the bottle calmly, away from light, and pour gently to preserve the ruby brightness. This wine is charming from the first sip and gains nuances through the meal without ever losing its guiding freshness.

Food and wine pairings

• White meats : roast poultry, pork tenderloin, delicately grilled veal.
• Grills : herb-seasoned chops and skewers, high-heat cooking that enhances the crunchy fruit.
• Roast poultry : free-range chicken, guinea fowl with pan juices, reduced jus and seasonal sides.
• Market vegetables : sautéed mushrooms, fragrant jardinières, melting textures that converse with the wine’s suppleness.
• Friendly tables : shared, simple yet refined dishes where the precision of Pinot Noir finds its expression.

Occasions

An ideal companion for chosen moments, this Bourgogne Pinot Noir 2022 fits naturally into:

• an informal dinner that favours balanced flavours and conversation.
• the centre of a Sunday lunch around roast poultry and seasonal vegetables.
• a thoughtful gift for a Burgundy lover seeking a pure, precise red.
