Among the most sought-after plots of the Côte de Nuits, Chambolle-Musigny 1er Cru "Les Amoureuses" 2022, Domaine Faiveley embodies a rare grace—the kind of Pinot Noir that marries finesse and depth. From an emblematic terroir bordering the Grand Cru Musigny, this 1er Cru stands out for its luminous aromatic accuracy and its fine-grained texture. The deep garnet robe, edged with violet reflections, announces a bouquet where raspberry, blackberry, blueberry and strawberry intertwine, caressed by subtle oak nuances. On the palate, the framework stretches with measured precision, supported by a straight structure and a silky touch that extends into a vibrant finish. For lovers of fine wines seeking emotion and controlled audacity, this cuvée demonstrates the art of nuance and promises, over time, a peak of notable intensity.

Blend and vinification

This wine is made exclusively from Pinot Noir, the signature grape of Burgundy, harvested from the Les Amoureuses climat, an emblematic 1er Cru parcel of Chambolle-Musigny. The harvest is carefully sorted to preserve berry integrity and express the purity of the fruit and the precision of the terroir. Fermentation is carried out gently to encourage measured extraction of tannins and aromas, thus preserving the brightness of red and black fruits. Ageing seeks balance, with a finely integrated use of oak that accompanies without dominating. The elegant presence of oak, perceptible on the nose, melds into the mid-palate and highlights the wine’s tactile dimension. The result is a workshop-style interpretation where know-how and respect for the terroir combine to craft a palate with clear definition.

Tasting notes

• Colour : Deep garnet-red with violet highlights, clear and glossy, promising pure fruit and delicate concentration.
• Nose : Precise intensity on raspberry, blackberry, blueberry and strawberry, lifted by subtle oak that adds depth and relief without ever masking the fruit’s radiance.
• Palate : Fine attack and impeccable composure, polished texture, tight yet caressing tannins, sapid balance, long and harmonious finish—an expression of the prestigious proximity to Musigny.

Serving temperature and advice

This 1er Cru benefits from being served in large glasses that promote aromatic development and texture perception. A stable, cellar-like temperature enhances fruit freshness and structural precision. While youthful, a little aeration in the glass will gracefully reveal the red and black fruit palette while integrating the subtle oak nuances. For ageing, a healthy, steady cellar will allow the wine to develop growing complexity and an ever more satiny mouthfeel over the years.

Food pairings

• Appetisers : golden gougères, delicate charcuterie, shavings of mature ham—these create a delicious dialogue with the fruit’s freshness.
• Starters : light game terrine, perfect egg with mushrooms, hand-chopped veal tartare—highlighting the cuvée’s uprightness and delicacy.
• Main courses : roasted beef fillet, medium-rare duck, pigeon or venison—where noble meats respond to the wine’s depth and tension.
• Cheeses : aged Comté, Brillat-Savarin, Cîteaux—these respect the Pinot Noir’s balance and enhance its length.
• Desserts : lightly sweet red-fruit desserts, thin strawberry tart—for a finish that celebrates the fruit’s brightness.
