Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

E79 - Domaine Faiveley · Burgundy, France
Q: Are critic scores still important in selling Grand Cru Burgundy?
Scores are not the dominant driver; the emphasis is on the story, the people, and the culture behind the wine. Reputation is built through decades of consistent quality and authenticity, not just a numerical rating.
E79 - Domaine Faiveley · Burgundy, France
Q: What are the most important lessons you've learned from your father, François?
Humility learned from 200 years of family history is paramount; recognizing cycles in wine, staying grounded, and focusing on making wine for people to enjoy rather than chasing trends or a single standard. This mindset keeps the tradition alive while remaining open to thoughtful innovation.
E79 - Domaine Faiveley · Burgundy, France
Q: What are your current thoughts on oxygen management and aromatics during aging?
Oxygen management is considered important, but measurements (like CO2) are not the sole guide; winemaking relies on a combination of bench data, experience, and intuition. We adjust tactics through barrel selection and aging practices rather than rigidly chasing analytics.
E79 - Domaine Faiveley · Burgundy, France
Q: But for a broader audience, how would you describe the terroir of Nuit-Saint-Georges and how it shows in your Pinot Noir?
The terroir is highly nuanced, with two distinct hills creating a spectrum from fine, elegant northern traits to stronger, more masculine southern ones, making the wines a blend of delicacy and backbone. This duality shapes our Pinot Noir across the village and its premier crus, requiring careful vineyard and vinification choices to achieve balance.
E75 - Château Tour des Termes · Bordeaux, France
Q: What makes Saint-Estèphe unique within the Médoc, and how is Tour des Termes adapting to climate change?
The Médoc is diverse in microclimates; Tour des Termes leans on clay and limestone soils with Merlot-dominant plantings to maintain balance in warmer vintages. They emphasize water retention and cooler soils to preserve acidity and allow earlier drinkability, while keeping structure for aging.
