Order wine : Mercurey 1er Cru Clos des Myglands 2022 - Monopole - Faiveley
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
