90pt Montagny Faiveley $21.95 Remarkable Bargain Free Shipping

We have for you today a Special Offer on a 2010 White Burgundy from Montagny. As you know 2010 was a Classic Vintage for Burgundy and Montagny is always one of our favorite areas for White Burgundies. The Faiveley Montagny 2010 offers fresh, floral and mineral scents. Along with great acidity and concentration this comes together well, to give this wine good balance and weighty texture with a pleasant long-lasting finish of flavours. Domaine Faiveley combines the principles of modern winemaking methods with the time honored traditions that have been practiced for centuries within their 19th century cellars. Each terroir and each vintage, benefits from special attention which makes the cuvées unique. Each bottle therefore becomes the faithful reflection of its terroir. This Montagny comes exclusively from Faiveley’s vineyards and it shows.

This was rated 90 Points by DC’s very own Michael Franz (formerly at Washington Post) of Wine Review Online: “Another remarkable bargain, this shows lovely fruit recalling green apples and slightly under-ripe tangerines. Fresh and energetic thanks to lots of bright acidity, this never turns tart, and the finish shows very nice minerality.”

Wine Enthusiast gave it 89 points: "Intense, rich and creamy, this effortlessly balances the wood influence with the apricot and white peach flavors. It demonstrates the opulence of the year while remaining structured. Developing well, this is almost ready to drink now."

For the price of $21.95 it is hard to beat when looking for a White Burgundy of this quality. Free Shipping on 12 bottles or more. Free Shipping Offer Ends October 15, 2013.

Domaine Faiveley

In 1825, Pierre Faiveley founded the firm that now bears the name Domaine Faiveley. At that time, the firm was classic negociant, buying and selling wine. But from generation to generation, with a firm commitment to the quality of Burgundy’s patrimony, the Faiveley family has purchased vineyard and is today among the largest owners of classified vineyards in the Cote de Nuits, Cote de Beaune and Cotes Chalonnaise. All together the firm owns some 120 hectare of vineyards among which 10 hectares are grands crus and 25, premiers crus.

The objective of the family today, led by Erwan Faiveley (seventh generation to lead the Domaine), is to increase the firm’s holdings of great vineyards so that there can be complete control from vine to bottle across the entire range of wines. Along with this focus, Erwan Faiveley and General Manager Bernard Hervet have renovated the cellars which now boast state of the art barrel presses, custom designed wooden vats and among the finest, air cured oak casks available in the world.  

Unlike many wine growers, Domaine Faiveley has united the management of its vineyards and its cellar under the direction of one technical director, Jerome Flous. The result is seamless integration of vineyard and cellar practices with great results in the quality of the wines. Today, the wines of Domaine Faiveley are widely recognized for being among the finest produced in Burgundy and Domaine

Faiveley among the finest wine producers in the world. Montagny is located in the extreme south of the Cote Chalonnaise directly bordering the Maconnais. Vineyards here can sit as high as 1,000 feet in elevation and typically have an ideal east/ south-east exposure. Soils are primarily clay and marl.
