Coteaux Bourguignons Mes Gamays - Domaine Nicolas Faure 2020

The Estate Nicolas Faure is located in the heart of the Burgundy commune of Meuilley near Nuits-Saint-Georges. After working notably with Jean-Louis Chave, La Romanée Conti, and Prieuré-Roch, Nicolas Faure established his estate in 2014. The passionate and determined winemaker leads a double life. During the day, he works as a vineyard manager at the Bertaut-Gerbet estate (Fixin) run by his wife. In the evening, he cultivates his own vines in Nuits-Saint-Georges, Pernand-Vergelesses, and Aloxe-Corton, growing Pinot Noir, Gamay, Chardonnay, and Aligoté. His production is minimal, nearing 5,000 bottles.

Aware of environmental issues and with a focus on soil and biodiversity preservation, the winemaker tends to his vines according to the principles of organic farming. His goal is to maintain low yields to harvest concentrated grapes while preserving the ecosystem and the harmonious balance between Man and vine.

In the cellar, the winemaking process is minimally interventionist, and sulfur is used in minimal quantities. Nicolas Faure manages to extract the best from his plots to produce exceptional wines that reflect ancestral know-how and the work of an ambitious and passionate winemaker.
