Pre-Arrival Offering of 2011 Vintage Burgundies of FAIVELEY
| An upside-down growing season that would have been a disaster a generation ago produced perfumed, consistently charming wines that will be relished by long-time Burgundy lovers and neophytes alike. This very good to excellent vintage offers enticing, soil-driven red fruit, floral and mineral flavors; pliant texture; and ripe, smooth tannins. While the overwhelming majority of wines will offer considerable early appeal, they also have the concentration and balance for mid-term aging...
CEO/adviser Bernard Hervet summarized 2011 by calling it "a very rare vintage that combined the low grape sugars and freshness of a very cold vintage with an unusually early harvest." He went on: "The wines are never boring. It will be a dangerous vintage in that one can too easily drink a bottle of wine." Faiveley harvested pinot from August 31 through September 9. "It's a great vintage that reached ripeness at 12% potential alcohol, with the grand crus at 12.5%," said Hervet. "But some people waited too late to pick and made mistakes, ultimately destroying the balance of their wines." The pHs here were in the healthy 3.3 to 3.45 range, but Hervet noted that he vinified with a lower-than-usual percentage of whole clusters as he was afraid of botrytis, which could be hard to detect. ‑ Stephen Tanzer's International Wine Cellar Issue 166, January/February 2013 |
