[Rg] La Corvée de Bully 2022 Domaine Nicolas Faure

Professional reviews

Vinous (85)

The 2022 Riesling comes from vines planted by Faure in 2016 although they suffered frost twice, so this is really the first vintage, and it was raised in stainless steel, bottled in April. There is no residual sugar. It has a simple bouquet with light green apple and kiwi fruit. The palate is also simple but, of course, interesting to taste, fresh with a malic finish.

Fresh pale yellow, fresh but definitely ripe pears and some honeysuckle. Powerful flesh on the palate, more of the pears, less well integrated acidity compared to the Aligoté, and perhaps some tannins. A little salinity. Plenty of weight, less well balanced than the Aligoté. These notes were written before Nicolas revealed that the grape was Riesling, which he planted in 2016. This is the first vintage because the 2020 did not work without sulphur and the 2021 was frosted. By analysis this wine is 11.5% alcohol with a pH of 3.00.
