Domaine Faiveley
Mercurey Premier Cru Clos Des Myglands (Monopole)
The name of this 1er cru, a monopole from Domaine Faiveley, most probably originates from the English “My Land”, the name given to this area by an English dignitary. This clos produces a powerful, direct, and well-balanced wine.

The nose reveals notes of black and red fruits combined with subtle woody and smoky notes. The palate offers the same rich, fruity aromas as the nose. This full-bodied wine has a velvety tannic backbone which gives a sensation of warmth on the smooth finish.

"This intense red features black cherry, blackberry, violet and mineral aromas and flavors. Supple yet dense, with fine overall balance and a long, fruit-stained aftertaste."
— Bruce Sanderson, 2024
