Order wine : Mercurey 1er Cru 2021 Clos des Myglands - Monopole - Faiveley
91/100 Wine Spectator
Tasting notes: "Although vibrant and racy, this red is also concentrated, evoking flavours of wild cherry, redcurrant, cinnamon candy, sandalwood and spice. Balanced and persistent, it has lively acidity on the finish. Best from 2025 to 2037."
CHARACTERISTICS OF THE APPELLATION
The name of this 1st growth, a monopoly of Domaine Faiveley, probably comes from the English "My Land", the name given to this place by an English dignitary. This Clos produces a powerful, straight and balanced wine.
- Exposure: South-East
- Soil: Clay-limestone - not very stony and not very clayey
- Grape Variety: Pinot Noir
- Surface Area: 6 ha 31 a - (15.59 Acres)
- Year of Plantation: 1963, 1971, 1974, 1975, 1982
- Vinification and 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 punched down twice a day to extract their colour, tannins and aromas from the skins. After 15 to 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 produces a press wine of great purity. For 15 months, we mature our wines in French oak barrels (30% of which are new) selected for their fine grain and moderate toasting in our cellars with a natural and constant hygrometry and temperature.
- Tasting: The nose develops aromas of black and red fruits accompanied by woody and smoky notes. These greedy fruit flavours can be found on the palate. The wine is full-bodied with velvety tannins. The wine is full-bodied with velvety tannins and combines harmoniously to give a silky, warm wine.
- Food and wine pairing : Beef fillet and tian of candied vegetables, strawberry tart
- Temperature: 14°C to 16°C
