Description

Experience the exceptional power and elegance of Domaine Faiveley's Mercurey 1er Cru 'Clos des Myglands' 2022 – a true Burgundian gem from a historic monopole vineyard. This captivating red wine, crafted from mature vines, promises a harmonious balance of rich fruit, structured tannins, and a memorable finish.

The bouquet is dominated by notes of dark and red fruits, subtly intertwined with toasted nuances. On the palate, the wine is full-bodied, with a firm backbone thanks to its ripe tannins. The long, balanced, and rich finish reveals the wine's depth and excellent aging potential.

'Clos des Myglands', whose name means "my land," is a prestigious 1er Cru vineyard exclusively owned by Domaine Faiveley. Here, on clay-limestone soils, vines planted between 1963 and 1982 are harvested by hand, ensuring exceptional grape concentration. The wine is meticulously aged in barriques, utilizing approximately 30% new oak, which enhances its inherent robustness and complexity.

About brand

Since 1825, the Faiveley family has worked with deep respect in the heart of Burgundy – in the Côte de Nuits, Côte de Beaune, and Côte Chalonnaise regions – where prestigious Grands Crus and Premiers Crus wines are born. The secrets and passion of winemaking, passed down from generation to son, have allowed Domaine Faiveley to become the largest family-owned vineyard estate in Burgundy today, managing an impressive portfolio of 13 Grands Crus, 35 Premiers Crus, and 28 village wines. The wines of this producer are consistently characterized by elegance and impeccable quality.

Wine Style

Domaine Faiveley wines are elegant and perfectly balanced, reflecting the unique terroir of Burgundy. Great attention is paid to the character of each appellation and the subtle differences determined by soil and microclimate.

  • White wine: characterized by subtle minerality, elegant acidity, and complex aromas where notes of white fruits, flowers, and light oak can be found.
  • Red wine: aromatic, with smooth yet firm tannins, an elegant structure, and vibrant notes of red and dark berries, spices, and earth.

Prestigious Vineyards

Domaine Faiveley owns exceptional vineyards in prestigious Burgundy locations:

  • Grands Crus vineyards, such as Gevrey-Chambertin ‘Chambertin-Clos de Bèze’, ‘Latricières-Chambertin’, Beaune ‘Clos des Cortons Faiveley’, and others, renowned for their exceptional quality and complexity.
  • Premiers Crus vineyards, for example, Nuits-Saint-Georges ‘Les Porrets Saint-Georges’, ‘Les Vaucrains’, Pommard ‘Les Rugiens’, and others, demonstrating a subtle balance of terroir nuances and elegance.
  • Village vineyards in the Chablis, Côte de Nuits, Côte de Beaune, and Côte Chalonnaise regions, reflecting the unique character of each locality.

Great emphasis is placed on vineyard care throughout the year, from winter pruning to meticulous harvest management in the summer, to ensure the optimal ripening of ‘Pinot Noir’ and ‘Chardonnay’ grapes.

Aging and Drinking Period

Domaine Faiveley wines possess an excellent balance and elegance, allowing them to be enjoyed both young and mature. The red wines have great potential for long aging, during which their complexity unfolds and the tannins become more refined. The white wines can also age, developing even more depth and concentration.
