Nicolas Faure got his start here, in Les Herbues. In 2011 he took on this single plot in Nuits-Saint-Georges and made just over a thousand bottles in a friend's cellar; the domaine grew from there. Trained at Domaine de la Romanee-Conti and Prieure-Roch, he farms with rare exacting standards from his base in the Hautes Cotes. Les Herbues is village Nuits with the firm, structured character the appellation is known for. Production is tiny, so this is a rare bottle. The 2024 will reward a few years; decant if you open it young.

"The 2024 Nuits Saint-Georges Les Herbues, blended with 100% stems, has just a light reduction on the nose but there is decent dark berry fruit in situ, lovely touches of black tea and bay leaves coming through. The palate is medium-bodied with fine tannins, the stems quite prominent towards the finish but proportionate with the fruit. Fine length and poise, this is a Nuits Saint-Georges that is full of character." —Neal Martin

More about Nicolas Faure

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.
