Description

Domaine Faiveley Corton Clos des Cortons Faivaley Grand Cru 2021 is an exclusive wine that reflects both prestige and the highest quality of Burgundy wines and is one of the brightest wines of Corton region with exquisite character and subtle balance.

The wine is characterized by complex and deep aromas that reveal the notes of black fruits (black currant, cherry) and subtle spices. Over time, the wine reveals the nuances of the earth, mycelium and sour berries that blend in harmoniously with the elegant vanilla aftertaste. The structure of this wine is released with a balanced acid, firm tannin and a long, extremely elegant aftertaste.

Manual harvesting, cold maceration, natural fermentation and long maturation in French oak barrels (15-18 months, about 40% of structures are new) - all of these processes help to create a wine with a high quality standard, balanced structure and exceptional aromas. It is a wine that not only is distinguished by its distinctive taste but also has a long maturation potential.

Serving recommendations

Supply 14-16 ° C. The wine is suitable for duck, fried pheasant, mushrooms, truffle dishes, veal, as well as matured cheeses (comté, tomme de bourgogne).

James Suckling

This Corton Grand Cru has the imposing structure that we associate with this appellation, but also the aromatic shyness and fresh mineral acidity that not everybody will be pleased by at this early stage of the wine’s long life. For us this is a compelling expression of this great site with excellent mid-palate richness and a very polished finish in spite of a touch of wildness. Try to be patient. Try from 2026.

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.
