Musigny Grand Cru 2021 - Faiveley
Domaine Joseph Faiveley
CHARACTERISTIC OF THE APPELLATION
On their rocky terrace, the Musigny and Petits Musigny overlook the Clos de Vougeot, facing the rising sun. There was a Gallo-Roman settlement there whose owner was called Musinus, who gave his name to what was to become one of the most prestigious terroirs in Burgundy. Ten owners produce Musigny Grand Cru today, we are the smallest with only 3 ouvrées. We own two small parcels, one in the north and the other in the heart of the appellation.

VINIFICATION & MATURING
The grapes are cut and sorted by hand. The proportions of de-stemming and whole grapes vary according to each vintage. The grapes are de-stemmed manually to obtain a fine and delicate tannic structure. The harvest is then placed in an oak barrel for a short skin maceration before vinification. Daily manual punching of the cap is carried out to extract the color, tannins and aromas from the grapes. After 19 days of vatting, the alcoholic fermentation is completed. The free-run wine is drained by gravity while a slow and gentle pressing of the marc allows to obtain a press wine of great purity. For 18 months, the Musigny is aged in new French oak barrels in our cellars with a natural and constant hygrometry and temperature. These barrels are selected for the fineness of their grain and their moderate toasting.
