These vineyards have become synonymous with greatness, crafting wines that define elegance, complexity, and longevity.
Burgundy's most esteemed wines are crafted from two noble grape varieties: Pinot Noir and Chardonnay.

The 2021 Chambertin Clos-de-Bèze Grand Cru bides its time opening up, revealing raspberry and cranberry fruit, autumn leaves, touches of orange pith. Cohesive and focused, it gains vigour in the glass. The palate is medium-bodied with grainy tannins, brown spices and white pepper that are liberally sprinkled over the finish that has a very small attenuation. But this is still well-crafted.Inc.

Wine Advocate (87)
The 2015 Chambolle-Musigny 1er Cru Aux Beaux Bruns from Joseph Faiveley is notably reduced on the nose, notes of raspberry, cherry and candied peel only emerging with extended aeration. On the palate, the wine is sappy, medium to full-bodied and a bit dried out from its reduction which renders it rather inscrutable, though the raw materials seem to be good. If this shakes off its reduction as it ages it may end up being very good, but my instinct is that it is a sadly stillborn Chambolle.Inc. GSTSG$995.69 -
(6x75cl) 2017As 1er Cru Chambolle-Musigny gos, it is difficult to beat this beauty from Faiveley for both value and classic style. Ethereal, elegant with refined red fruit and fresh flowers, this is exactly what you would want from both the village and this magnificent vineyard.Inc. GSTSG$988.06 -
Super precision on the nose, charming bright red and black fruits and that characteristic deftness of flavour from Chambolle-Musigny. An elegance on the palate, the tannins, acidity and alcohol all in perfect balance and bright, seductive notes of cranberry, redcurrant, touches of violets and soft subtle spices from the oak, with a line of minerality running through.Inc.

(25% vendange entier; the lieu-dit is Petit Musigny): Medium red. Raspberry, pungent smoky minerality and truffley underbrush on the perfumed nose. Juicy, tactile and saline, with musky red raspberry fruit complicated by crushed-stone minerality. Mounts impressively on the chewy aftertaste.Inc. GSTSG$1,295.42 -

Sweet oak lends vanilla and toasty accents to the core of cherry and strawberry fruit. Linear in profile, with freshness and dusty tannins framing the candied berry notes on the long finish. Best from 2017 through 2027. 130 cases made.Inc. GSTSG$1,540.67 -

The 2020 Echézeaux En Orveau Grand Cru (the lieu-dit has been stated on the label since 2018) has a perfumed, quite floral bouquet with dark cherries, wild strawberry and raspberry fruit, the marl terroir coming through with time. The palate is medium-bodied with crunchy red fruit, the 20% whole bunch imparting a pleasing peppery note and energy on the finish. This should age with style.Inc. GSTSG$761.62 -

(just two barrels of this juice; the fruit was destemmed by hand but not crushed): Bright medium red. Lovely wild perfume of raspberry, rose petal, mocha and crushed stone. Like liquid silk on the palate, but with extraordinary sappy energy to the flavors of raspberry, minerals, rose petal and blood orange. Wonderfully seamless wine with an inexorable slowly building finish featuring a wave of fruit and pungent minerality. Great lingering perfume here, and a magically light touch. Splendid.Inc.
