Domaine Faiveley, Gevrey Chambertin Lavaut St Jacques Size:6x750ml 800 cases were madeA distinctly earthy, cool and ripe nose flashes notes of red and black cherries nuanced by hints of smoke, the sauvage and crushed herb. Interestingly, the powerful and very serious middle weight flavors are relatively refined thanks to the dense but fine grained tannins that shape the punchy, intense and stony finish that is presently youthfully austere. This is also built to age and is going to need it. (92 94) 2030+
