Faiveley believes the 1990s are the finest wines the firm has produced in several decades. Consumers will be happy to know that not only is there a bevy of top wines, but many of them are priced below what Faiveley the last two vintages. The international recession has hit Burgundy as hard as Bordeaux, so it is not surprising to see many producers cut prices by as much as 40% in order to sell their wines. Of course, much of these savings is lost to Americans because of our pathetically weak dollar.Three premiers crus from Gevrey-Chambertin merited similar scores, but were different in style. Another tough, tannic, backward wine is the Gevrey-Chambertin-Combes Aux Moines. Not as rustic as Les Cazetiers, it reveals more of a red fruit character in its pretty nose. It possesses loads of tannin, fine concentration, and an overall sense of balance and grace. Among these three offerings, it is clearly the most elegant, but also, less powerful. Drink it between 1996-2003.Importers: Henry Cavalier Selections, Boulder, CO and Ideal Wines, Medford, MA.
