Starting with a whiff of clove cigarette followed by black plums, mulberries, forest floor and dried fire wood, the palate is sheer muscle in this vintage. The layers of chunky fruit concentration are corralled by sappy tannins and peppy acidity. Faiveley owns one parcel in the upper-mid slope and two by the D974, as well as a beautiful portail, or gate. Rating: 95 Tim Atkin MW, www.timatkin.com (Jan 2025)

(blended from 3 separate lieux-dits, two near the bottom and one near the top). An unusually floral suffused nose for Clos de Vougeot features additional nose of various red berries and just turned earth. The attractively textured, if not especially dense, medium weight flavors terminate in a youthfully austere and lingering finish that could also use better depth.

Cask sample. Surprisingly pale. Just a little loose but there is some attractive savour (as opposed to sweetness) and some grand cru life to this. Tannin very much in evidence but the wine is persistent and obviously trying hard. (JR) Drinking range: 2032 - 2050 Rating: 17++ Jancis Robinson OBE MW - www.JancisRobinson.com (Nov 2024)
The 2023 Clos Vougeot Grand Cru has a clean and pure bouquet that perhaps doesn't possess the mineralité and complexity of the Corton Clos de Faiveley. The palate is clean and pure with silky tannins. It's not a powerful Clos Vougeot, yet it's focused and harmonious with a dab of sour cherry on the slightly truncated finish. Drinking range: 2027 - 2042 Rating: 90-92 Neal Martin, www.vinous.com (Nov 2024)
