Domaine Faiveley
Mercurey La Framboisière (Monopole)
La Framboisière has been one of the Domaine’s monopoles since 1933 and produces very distinctive wines: intense red fruit aromas and a pleasant minerality. Our Mercurey vat house is named after this iconic parcel.
This 10.61-hectare plot, planted in 1949, 1964, 1965, 1968, 1990, 2010, features clay limestone soils, with eastern exposure, and is cultivated using organic farming practices.

“Monopole. Firm and fine and chock-full of raspberry(?) fruit with an undertow of fine tannins.”
— Jancis Robinson, 2024
