Faiveley, Chambole Musigny 1er Cru 'Les Fuees', 2000 (6 bottles @ $146 per bottle)
Extremely ripe with an elegant mix of red and black pinot fruits plus medium weight red fruit flavors that display good intensity and a subtle complexity on the lingering finish. Reserved, almost discreet in style with a subtle minerality and a lovely purity of expression.

V92 Points. The manipulations this wine underwent have been shrugged off and this is much more harmonious than it was when I saw it just after bottling. There is now a hint of secondary fruit in evidence though the airy, spicy, fresh and wonderfully pure and complex nose is still largely primary in basic character as it leads to detailed, vibrant and sweet flavors that culminate in a finish that is distinctly linear, indeed almost a bit strict at present. Still, the transparency here is marvelous and while this is clearly still on the way up, it's more on the order of 5 years away from its peak. In a word, lovely. Burghound April 2008.

92 Points. "Inky black with cherry cough syrup nose that is dominated today by new wood. Thankfully, there is plenty of underlying material that may be up to the task of absorbing it over time though I suspect that the oak will always a major component of the flavor profile. The tannins are ultra refined, almost silky in texture for a young Clos de Bèze with rich, velvety and very long flavors of considerable distinction. This would be better without quite so much oak but even so, there is so much wine here that it manages to carry it, at least for today." Burghound 2001.
