Burgundy 2018 – E–F

Monday 30 December 2019
Nicolas Faure

For the rest of these alphabetically grouped tasting articles, and more general articles on Burgundy 2018, see our guide. Nicolas Faure, who works with and is married to Amélie Berthaut in Fixin but also makes his own wines in Meuilly, is pictured here in his very cold cellar.

The wines are grouped alphabetically by producer (sur)name and within those groups are ordered whites before reds, ascending from generic through village, premiers and grands crus. You can change the order as you prefer using the menu below.
