2022 Domaine Faiveley '1er Cru Clos Des Myglands' (Monopole) Mercurey

Winemaker Notes:  Powerful, clean and well balanced wines arise from the idelly exposed vines of this Monopole. Covering 6 ha, the clayed-limestone soil, rich in iron and clay with few pebbles, rests on deep ground. This premier Cru, the furthest north-east of Mercurey, offers a slight rustic, raw style that is both silky and warm.

CRITICAL ACCLAIM


Decanter - "Faiveley's monopole Clos des Myglands on the northern edge of the village has delivered a delightful wine in 2022, with a lovely raspberry and plum fruit character, and a hint of rose petals and earth. The wine has a pronounced sweetness and a gratifyingly silky texture on the palate. Jérôme Flous remarked that despite the lack of water in 2022, the vines of the Côte Chalonnaise had a noticeably lower pH than those of the Côte d'Or in general, which helps keep this lively and fresh. A genuinely delightful success."


James Suckling - "Enticing nose of black raspberries and sour cherries. Wonderful freshness and vitality. Silky tannins for this appellation. Long, clean and bright finish. (93-94pts)"
