House of Caviar invited the Dutch wine press for a special presentation in the recently re-styled champagne and caviar boutique and gallery on the Lange Voorhout in The Hague. The wines from the renowned Burgundy house Domaine Faiveley were the main attraction because "over the last 5 years, with new winemakers at the helm, our wines have undergone a complete re-styling "according to export director Vincent Avenel during lunch in the adjoining private dining restaurant De Franse Stap. "The family originally started in Nuits-St-George with about 120 hectares of vineyards in Burgundy; these included different Grand Cru and Premier Cru parcels spread across the 'classic' areas of Meursault, Puligny-Montrachet and Gevrey-Chambertin. There is now "new blood with old traditions".
The whole wine team, spearheaded by technical director Jérôme Flous, have developed burgundies with a contemporary, more accessible and polished style, with greater emphasis on fruit aromas and expressiveness rather than on oak. The unique terroir is luckily still very apparent in the new wines from Faiveley but the often criticised bitter tones have disappeared.
