Domaine Faiveley have two different plots of almost equal size, one on the Morey side within Mazoyéres and the other in the core of Charmes below Le Chambertin, and a final proportion which comes from bought in fruit. A mouthful of wild dark berry fruits, this is rich and ample in style, with rounded tannins and deliciously sweet on the finish.
The second largest town after Beaune, Nuits St. Georges is known for ample wines that have textured tannins and rich fruit. Unlike other famous Côte de Nuits villages, it has no Grand Crus but does have a handful of exceptional premier cru vineyards such as Clos de l'Arlot, Les Pruliers and AuxMurgers. Its wines can be occasionally rustic, and this sets them apart from many of the more northern appellations as well as from the neighbouring Côte de Beaune whose wines (apart from Pommard) tend to be less structured and more fruit forward. This is no doubt due to a slightly increased presence of clay especially on the Primeaux-Prissey area of the appellation. Notable producers include Domaine de l'Arlot, Jean Grivot and Meo-Camuzet.
