2019
Founded in 1825, Domaine Faiveley is one of Burgundy's greatest domaines. Originally the company was a classic negotiant business, based in Nuits St. Georges and engaged in the buying and selling of wine but not the production of it. After seven generations of steadily acquiring properties throughout the Cotes de Nuits, the Cotes de Beaune, Cotes Chalonnaise and now Chablis, the Faiveley family have established themselves as the most important vineyard owners in Burgundy, with 125 hectares of...

See detailed press reviewDe façon générale, 2015 fut un excellent millésime. Et Erwan Faiveley et son équipe en ont visiblement profité pour nous concocter cette superbe cuvée « Clos des Myglands ». Héritier d’un patrimoine viticole unique, Erwan Faiveley a pris la suite de son père en 2005. Sa soeur Ève l’a rejoint en 2014. Depuis leur arrivée, les vins de la maison Faiveley n’ont cessé de progresser. Par exemple, ce Mercurey premier cru d’une remarquable richesse, dévoile des arômes de prunes, de groseilles, de mûres, de cerises, de framboises, d’épices et de fleurs, entrelacés de notes minérales, boisées et fumées. En bouche, l’attaque est somptueuse, à la fois pleine, veloutée et d’une grande précision aromatique. C’est un vin absolument délicieux, savoureux, complexe et élégant! La finale est persistante et s’accroche avec un festival de saveurs entre le fruit et les notes d’élevage.
Oxygéner en carafe 45 minutes et servir à 17 °C. Il s’affirmera avec les cailles braisées, le filet de saumon, le boeuf bourguignon, les côtes de veau aux champignons, ou le thon rouge grillé.
This combines red-berry perfume with some earthy power. Pretty concentrated and complex wine for the appellation, the rather polished tannins giving it nice textural complexity. Long and generous, but cool and slightly salty finish.
See detailed press reviewThough vibrant and racy in profile, this red is also concentrated, evoking wild cherry, currant, cinnamon candy, sandalwood and spice flavors. Balanced and persistent, with brisk acidity driving the long aftertaste.
See detailed press reviewMonopole. Mid cherry. Smells sweet fruited and gentle. Really lovely soft fruit and tannins, already easily drinkable, with good fruit depth – a little darker fruit than the Framboisière and well structured even though it is so rounded.
See detailed press review(from classic red Mercurey soil; tasted from tank): Bright, dark ruby-red. Lively scents of black cherry, licorice and flowers. Round and sweet but penetrating in the mouth; less showy than the Framboisière but more firmly structured. This juicy midweight offers a solid core of dark cherry and licorice flavor and finishes with rising floral length and a distinctly dark cast.
See detailed press reviewDeeper-pitched and more brooding than the more ethereal Framboisière, Faiveley's 2020 Mercurey 1er Cru Clos des Myglands delivers aromas of ripe cherries, berries, licorice, bitter chocolate and spices. Medium to full-bodied, rich and layered, with a concentrated core of fruit and powdery tannins, it will demand a bit of patience this year.
See detailed press reviewBright medium red. Liqueur-like cherry and spices on the inviting nose. Dense and savory on the palate, with very good cut and saline complexity to the flavors of dark cherry, rose petal and spices. Finishes youthfully medicinal, persistent and perfumed, with excellent structure for Mercurey. The crop level here was about 40 hectoliters per hectare, or about 10% lower than usual, noted Bernard Hervet.
See detailed press reviewMonopole. Bright cherry fruit, light palate, very spiky acid. A light dusting of tannin – precociously charming, but a little insubstantial.
See detailed press reviewA discreet application of wood sets off the pretty array of plum, earth and red and dark currant scents. There is a bit more volume to the medium-bodied flavors that possess a
velvety mid-palate while delivering better persistence on the ever-so-slightly rustic finish. This too is quite good.
