Nicolas Faure Nuits Saint Georges Les Herbues 2023 [NET]

$38999

Les Herbues sits at the very northern edge of Nuits-Saint-Georges, right up against the Vosne-Romanée border — a village climat that Nicolas Faure has almost single-handedly put on the map since acquiring his 0.23-hectare parcel in 2010. The vines were planted in 1964 on deeper silty-clay soils with excellent exposure. Faure works the parcel sustainably, ferments whole-cluster with native yeasts, and ages 16 months in used barrels. The wine has the silken texture and floral perfume of a Vosne sibling — which, geographically and stylistically, it nearly is. NET.

"The 2023 Nuits Saint-Georges Les Herbues comes from vines planted in 1964 that Faure has worked since 2011. It has a vivacious bouquet with brambly red fruit, briar and light sous-bois scents. Again, this has fine delineation and the stems are neatly integrated. The palate is well balanced with a dash of black pepper, coming across as quite structured with a little more weight on the finish compared to the previous vintage." —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.
