This firm offers a strong line-up of grands crus from the Cote de Nuits. Completely closed and backward, the Chambertin-Clos de Beze reluctantly offers up aromas of black-cherries, new oak, and earth. In the mouth, there is a suggestion of opulence and weight, but the wine is tight, tannic, and in need of at least 4-6 years of cellaring. It should age well for 15 or more years.Faiveley believes the 1990s are the finest wines the firm has produced in several decades. Consumers will be happy to know that not only is there a bevy of top wines, but many of them are priced below what Faiveley the last two vintages. The international recession has hit Burgundy as hard as Bordeaux, so it is not surprising to see many producers cut prices by as much as 40% in order to sell their wines. Of course, much of these savings is lost to Americans because of our pathetically weak dollar.Importers: Henry Cavalier Selections, Boulder, CO and Ideal Wines, Medford, MA.
