North of the Village, Clos Faubard sits up high, above Gravieres, where the slope climbs into scrubland. The soil here, has the same Bajocian marl limestone that is found in the Côte de Nuits and not found elsewhere in the Côte de Beaune, giving Faubard’s wine a distinct spicy minerality. Very red soil here, still with plenty of small stones. With so many fine premier cru sites to choose from at this estate it is this vineyard which we have consistently found to be our pick of the best representation of these sites, both for early enjoyment and for cellaring with confidence. The domaine, one of only three owners of this vineyard, has 1.47 hectares here and makes roughly 750 cases each year from vines mostly 60-70 years old. 40% whole bunch followed by 12 months elevage in 30% new barriques. Vibrant red fruit leads to a densely packed, mineral inflected palate of great purity and terrific length.

‘Clos Faubard has a very red soil, above the hard rock. 27 barrels worth, including some in foudre. A bright medium deep purple. The nose has a firmer darker fruit. There is a generous weight of dark raspberry fruit, some tannins, but easily enough fruit to cover them. Drink from 2027-2031.’ (88-90 points) Jasper Morris M.W., October 2023.
