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. Three premiers crus from Gevrey-Chambertin merited similar scores, but were different in style. In complete contrast to the Gevrey-Chambertin-Les Issarts is the Gevrey-Chambertin-Les Cazetiers. It reveals a similar leathery, beefy aroma, but there are more black fruit scents in the nose. In the mouth, it is savagely tannic, full-bodied, with gobs of extract, and a deep, muscular, spicy finish. Only a masochist would want to drink it now. It requires at least 5 years of cellaring, and should last for 10-15 . Importers: Henry Cavalier Selections, Boulder, CO and Ideal Wines, Medford, MA.
