Domaine Faiveley Givry Champ Lalot 2023

Alcohol: 13%

Grape(s): 100% Pinot Noir

Localization: Côte Chalonnaise, Burgundy, France

Tasting Notes: This wine opens with delicate aromas of spring flowers, offering an immediate sense of elegance and lift. The palate is fresh and well‑balanced, carrying its fruit with clarity and poise. Overall, it presents a harmonious, finely textured profile marked by purity and a vibrant sense of freshness that defines its charm.

Notes: The Champ‑Lalot parcel is distinguished by its early‑ripening, loamy soils, which tend to crack in hot summers and lend the wine a subtle rustic edge along with firmer tannins. This structural profile often draws comparisons to the wines of nearby Mercurey, giving Champ‑Lalot a regional character that balances charm with a touch of muscularity.

Food pairing: This wine pairs beautifully with a range of refined yet comforting dishes, from roast chicken or duck to tender pork preparations. Its freshness and subtle earthiness make it an excellent match for mushroom‑based dishes, while its gentle structure complements mild cheeses without overwhelming them. Herb‑driven poultry or vegetable dishes also shine alongside it, echoing the wine’s delicate balance and purity.

The Domain: Founded in 1825, Bourgognes Faiveley has been handed down from father to son for over 175 years. As the sixth generation to take the reins, François Faiveley manages, with equal amounts passion and competence, the largest family domaine in Burgundy. Methodically reconstructing vineyards fractured by French inheritance laws, Bourgognes Faiveley today owns more appellations in their entirety (monopoles) than any other domaine in Burgundy.

"Faiveley’s wines are... supremely clean and elegant: definitive examples of Pinot Noir... above all they have richness and breed, the thumbprint of a master winemaker."
