Among Chambolle’s most sought-after premier crus, the Chambolle-Musigny 1er Cru "Les Fuées" 2023 from Domaine Faiveley presents a couture interpretation of Pinot Noir. Born on a tiny 0.18 hectare parcel north of the village, in continuity with the prestigious Grand Cru Bonnes-Mares, this wine reveals the expressiveness of deep clay-limestone soils. Its plump flesh, intense colour and finely chiselled framework respond to one another with precision, offering a distinctive balance of grace and intensity. For the enthusiast seeking a pure emotion, for the host aiming to elevate a tête-à-tête or a large dinner, this cuvée embodies the structured delicacy typical of Chambolle, with a precise aromatic thread and a tactile presence that invites attentive tasting.

Blend and vinification

This red wine is made exclusively from Pinot Noir from the Les Fuées climat, classified Chambolle-Musigny 1er Cru AOC. Domaine Faiveley applies a craftsman’s approach to this confidential parcel, from vineyard to cellar, to preserve fruit clarity and site identity. Meticulous sorting, controlled extraction and measured ageing aim to shape a silky texture without ever masking the terroir’s character. The approach seeks purity of expression, clarity of aromas and a refined structure that respects the fineness of the tannins, delivering a vibrant, readable and harmoniously long-lived wine.

Tasting notes

• Colour : Deep and luminous, it shows a good density while keeping the transparency characteristic of Burgundian Pinot Noir.
• Nose : Complex bouquet of ripe fruits evoking morello cherry and black raspberry, underscored by delicate toasty notes, a hint of smoke and a trace of fine spices. The whole breathes precision and the nobility of the terroir.
• Palate : Soft attack then building in intensity. The matter becomes fleshy, the tannins are fine and textured, the frame stretches with poise. Persistent, upright finish that extends the ripe fruit with a delicate nod to toasted notes.

Serving temperature and advice

Serve this premier cru at cellar temperature, in large Burgundy-style glasses, to promote aeration and reveal the nuances. An early opening in the glass or a gentle aeration in a decanter, without excess, will showcase the silky texture and aromatic complexity. Store bottles calmly, away from vibrations and temperature fluctuations. Depending on your preferences and the wine’s development, moderate cellaring will further refine the contours and subtly marry fruit and spice.

Food pairings

• Aperitifs : aged ham, light gougères, herb chicken rillettes.
• Starters : perfect egg with mushrooms, hand-chopped veal tartare, vegetable pithivier with root vegetables.
