Vintage Character The 2022 Clos de Vougeot Grand Cru from Domaine Faiveley is a striking example of the power and elegance that define this iconic Burgundy vineyard. The 2022 vintage in Burgundy was marked by a warm, sunny growing season with timely rainfall, resulting in an excellent year for Pinot Noir, producing wines of impressive ripeness, concentration, and supple tannins.
Tasting Profile & Food Pairing Awarded 93 points by Robert Parker’s Wine Advocate, this Grand Cru opens with a complex bouquet of wild cherry, raspberry, violet, and subtle undertones of spice and earth. On the palate, it displays layered depth—silky and refined yet firmly structured, with flavors of red berries, forest floor, and a hint of cedar, all supported by polished tannins and a persistent, mineral-driven finish. Its finesse and depth make it an outstanding match for classic French cuisine such as duck breast with cherry sauce, or for a cheese course, aged Comté, both of which highlight the wine’s savory nuances and elegant structure.
Winery Background Established in 1825, Domaine Faiveley is one of Burgundy’s most respected family-owned estates, celebrated for its dedication to expressing the unique character of each vineyard site. The estate’s approach combines traditional Burgundian winemaking with sustainable viticulture, emphasizing careful stewardship of the land and meticulous attention to detail. In Clos de Vougeot, Faiveley’s holdings are cultivated on classic limestone and clay soils within the historic walled vineyard, with all grapes hand-harvested and rigorously sorted to ensure only the finest fruit is used. This commitment to quality and authenticity has cemented Faiveley’s reputation as a benchmark producer in the Côte de Nuits, consistently delivering wines that capture the essence and grandeur of Burgundy’s most storied terroirs.
