2022 Domaine Faiveley Mercurey 1er Cru "Clos des Myglands"

Faiveley's monopole Clos des Myglands on the northern edge of the village has delivered a delightful wine in 2022, with a lovely raspberry and plum fruit character, and a hint of rose petals and earth. The wine has a pronounced sweetness and a gratifyingly silky texture on the palate. Jérôme Flous remarked that despite the lack of water in 2022, the vines of the Côte Chalonnaise had a noticeably lower pH than those of the Côte d'Or in general, which helps keep this lively and fresh. A genuinely delightful success.(CC)
