Faiveley’s Rising Star in Burgundy

The best time to buy Burgundy is often after a generational change at an underperforming estate.  The wines often dramatically jump in quality and the world takes a while to catch on to the change.  Prices stay reasonable, the wines aren’t tightly allocated…until all of a sudden both of those things aren’t true.  Then you wish you’d bought more.
