Faiveley Givry Champ Lalot Blanc 2020 (750ML)

89 WA

Bottled with a technical cork, the 2020 Givry Champ Lalot exhibits aromas of pear, white flowers and fresh bread, followed by a medium-bodied, rich and satiny palate that's fleshy and succulent. It will offer demonstrative drinking out of the gates. - William Kelley, Wine Advocate

The Faiveley family first produced wine from rented vines in Mercurey in 1933, finally beginning to acquire land there three decades later. Today, with over 72 hectares to their name, they number equally among the Côte Chalonnaise's most important landholders and among its qualitative reference points. If the 2019 portfolio was the finest set of wines I've ever tasted from Faiveley in this subregion, the 2020s are worthy successors: more brooding, deeper-pitched and muscular, they will demand a bit of time to show all their cards. - William Kelley, Wine Advocate
