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. Its name comes from the presence of raspberry bushes, and the Mercurey vat house is named after this iconic parcel.
Plot - 10.61 ha. The shallow, pebbly clay-limestone soils of La Framboisière provide the perfect conditions for excellent drainage. At the bottom of the slope, the soil profile becomes a mixture of clay and silt, creating a more
compact and cooler terroir.

This wine reveals a powerful, fruity nose combining rich notes of red and black fruits and a subtle hint of oak. La Framboisière offers a powerful palate dominated by crunchy red fruits. Its velvety tannins and exceptional
length make it a pleasure to drink!

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