If you are one of the lucky few who can secure a visit with Nicolas Faure in his cellar outside Nuits-St-Georges, watch your head! Yes, it is a very small cellar, really just a garage. But inside that garage is some of the most exciting wine happening in Burgundy.

Nicolas is a farmer. That sounds cliché, but here it is absolutely the truth. His day job is as vineyard manager for his equally talented wife, Amelie Berthaut of Domaine Berthaut-Gerbet. Previously he worked vineyards at Prieur-Roche and Domaine de la Romanée Contí.

His own domaine is a small collection of parcels that totals just 1 hectare, allowing him to farm them all by himself the way he wants to.

He is not certified organic or biodynamic because he does not want to have to spray copper a specific number of times (among other regulations). But everything he does in the vineyard and the cellar is to make sure the terroir comes through.

Nicolas is very thoughtful, very curious and ultimately very deliberate. Again, he does everything himself so that he has total control of the process. These wines are his expressions of the vineyard, nothing and no one else is involved.

Professional Reviews

Robert Parker

RP 96
"The 2024 Cincuenta y Cinco was sourced from vines planted in 1955 on sand-dominated soils with silt and a small amount of clay content. It offers a hauntingly multidimensional expression of the Chacra project with a weightless allure than sets it apart within an impressive roster of wines. It opens with a detailed, blue-fruited nose radiating violet and rose petal aromas with an undercurrent of turned earth. The palate deftly balances a sleek, suave profile with nimble energy and palpable grace, effortlessly transitioning into a long, nuanced, ethereal finish whose complexity and dimension dramatically juxtaposes its slender frame. While I feel the Treinta y Dos bottling offers a slightly more complete expression of the Chacra project, this is a spectacular example of Patagonian Pinot Noir and one to measure others against." -Matthew Luczy

"From vines planted in 1955 on riverbed pebbles, this is perhaps the most seductive of the Chacra Pinots. Alluring aromas of cardamom, bay leaves and Indian spices weave through ripe red cherries and iris. A smoky minerality underlines its salty, sanguine finish, with the sensation of great breadth, which is all quite surprising considering the 2024 weighs in at only 11% alcohol." -Amanda Barnes
