Faiveley has enjoyed such a well-established reputation for turning out some of the most elegant red burgundies, that few people have noticed the enormous strides in quality the young Francois Faiveley has made with this firm's white wine program. Although only available in limited quantities, these wines are among the finest white burgundies of the vintage. Curiously, I did not have the opportunity to taste any of their whites from Mercurey, of which their Clos Rochette is usually an excellent wine and a top bargain. Additionally, the firm has invested heavily in the appellation of Montagny in the Chalonnais, which would appear to be a smart move as the Montagny appellation is an up and coming source for good Chardonnay. The 1989 St.-Veran is the first wine this firm has ever produced from that appellation. Floral and crisp, it is a more understated, elegant, and lighter style of wine than the Bourgogne Blanc.
