Domaine Nicolas Faure Bourgogne Aux Argillieres 2015

The Nicolas Faure Bourgogne Les Argillieres 2015 is a step up from the otherwise gorgeous 2014. The nose is bursting with ripe and juicy red fruit – very forward and floral, with a depth and complexity rarely seen in a Bourgogne Rouge. On the palate gorgeous red fruit – a tremendous mid-palate generosity – offering a nice view to the Premeaux terroir. Love the juicy and vibrant mid-palate fruit … the length, depth and the focus is quite uniquely good for this level. Most likely the best Bourgogne Rouge I have tasted.

  The Les Herbues 2017 (amongst friends “the Abuse”) is a typical Faure wine: refined and light-footed, with uniquely fine-grained tannins extracted by his old vertical press in Meuilley. The nose is open, and showing medium heat (it was quite a hot year, but not that hot). This is delightful drinking even at this stage, and has ...
