Domaine Faiveley Clos de Vougeot Grand Cru 2022
From the esteemed Domaine Faiveley in Nuits-Saint-Georges, the Clos de Vougeot Grand Cru 2022 is a distinguished red from Burgundy’s Côte de Nuits. Crafted from 100% Pinot Noir, sourced from multiple parcels in the 50-hectare Clos de Vougeot vineyard on limestone-clay soils, it’s hand-harvested and fermented in stainless steel and oak vats. Aged 16–18 months in French oak (40% new), it reflects the promising 2022 vintage with a vibrant ruby hue and refined complexity.
Winemaking Process
Faiveley’s precision defines this wine. The 2022 vintage, from 30-year-old vines, undergoes cold maceration and gentle extraction to preserve fruit intensity. Fermentation in stainless steel and oak vats, followed by 16–18 months in 40% new French oak, balances power and elegance, creating a Grand Cru with exceptional aging potential.
