2024 Domaine Faiveley Puligny-Montrachet 1er Cru Champ Gain 750ml

Overview

The 2024 Domaine Faiveley Champ Gain is a Premier Cru Chardonnay from Puligny-Montrachet on Burgundy’s Côte de Beaune. The vineyard sits above Les Folatières, offering a distinct hillside expression within the appellation.

Faiveley farms approximately 1.05 hectares here. Its southeast-facing aspect and light, shallow, stony soils frame a wine combining breadth of texture with a firm mineral line.

Vintage & Winemaking

After pneumatic pressing and clarification, the juice fermented in barrel for around four weeks. Maturation continued for 17–18 months in French oak, with 40–50% new barrels. Contact with the lees and lees stirring contributed to the wine’s texture.

Tasting Notes

Appearance

A white Burgundy made entirely from Chardonnay.

Aroma

Citrus and exotic-fruit aromas are joined by a light toasty note.

Palate

Rounded yet firm, with a mineral character.

Finish

Persistent, carrying the fruit and mineral elements.

Food Pairing

Suggested pairings include roast chicken, butter-poached shellfish, grilled white fish, mushroom risotto and a mild, mature hard cheese.

Serving temperature: Around 12–14°C.

Cellaring Potential

This young Premier Cru can develop further complexity in a cool, stable cellar. Faiveley’s general guidance for the cuvée is eight to ten years of ageing, rather than a verified vintage-specific drinking window.
