2021 Domaine Faiveley Mercurey Rouge Vieilles Vignes

From clay soils and southeastern facing slopes comes this charming and nuanced Pinot Noir from old vines farmed by the Faiveley team. This over-delivers on the high-value promise of Mercurey, displaying classic Burgundian charm. According to the estate: "Our 'vieilles vignes' (old vines) are over thirty years old and produce an exceptionally aromatic wine that offers a true reflection of its Mercurey terroirs. The palate reveals a smooth, fruity attack and evolves towards notes of ripe red berries and a touch of vanilla. An intensely aromatic wine with a delicate structure and silky smooth tannins that will win over wine experts and amateurs alike."
