Nicolas Faure trained in serious company, with stints at Domaine de la Romanee-Conti and Prieure-Roch before launching his own micro-domaine, which took shape around 2014. Based in Meuilley in the Hautes Cotes, he farms a tiny vineyard spread across prestigious appellations, working with rare exacting standards. He picked up his parcel in Aloxe-Corton in 2015, at the northern end of the Cote de Beaune where Pinot Noir turns firm and earthy. Production is minuscule, so these are hard to find. The 2024 will reward a few years in the cellar; decant if you open it young.
