Faiveley

Mercurey 1er Cru 'Clos du Roy'

Based in Nuits-St-Georges, the famous Domaine Faiveley was founded in 1825 and in more recent times, the Domaine has greatly expanded its vineyards across the entire Côte d'Or. The grapes are entirely destemmed and fermented in a mix of new wooden vats for the top end wines and stainless steel for the lesser cuvées. This Pinot noir has a beautiful ruby colour. On the nose, scents of small red fruits mix pleasantly with spicy and woody aromas, which come from the wine being raised traditionally in oak. This wine is very nicely balanced on the palate. Its rich aromas blend marvellously with its tannins, giving a wine which is greedy and full of body.
