2019 Domaine Faiveley Corton "Clos des Cortons" Monopole Grand Cru Magnum

When it comes to Burgundy, Domaine Faiveley is one of the biggest addresses. This is a family business with around 120 hectares of vineyards, including famous names such as Gevrey-Chambertin, Corton, Montrachet's, Echezeaux and many more. However, it is also a family estate with 10 hectares of Grand Cru and almost 25 hectares of Premier Cru. The first step was taken in 1825 by Pierre Faiveley; his son Joseph turned the estate into a great top company and his wines became ambassadors of Burgundy wines all over the world. With a clear, elegant and distinctive style, they produce wines here without exception that meet the ideal image of a Burgundy. “A very high quality estate, which represents the full glory of French winemaking art”, write the famous French wine writing duo Michel Bettane and Thierry Desseauve. Domaine Faiveley combines the principles of modern winemaking methods with the age-old traditions that have been practiced for centuries in their 19th century cellars. Each terroir and each vintage benefits from special attention that makes the cuvées unique. Each bottle therefore becomes the faithful reflection of its terroir. The only red Grand Cru on the Côte de Beaune and the flagship of the estate, Clos des Cortons Faiveley is a Monopole owned by the family since 1874 and covers a majestic 2.76ha. Its unique name comes from a controversy that arose in the 1930s, when the family name was added to the original 'Clos des Cortons' to avoid confusion. Clos des Cortons Faiveley is steeped in a rich history, which reflects its exceptional and complex terroir. Dominated by limestone, marl and clay, the soils are strewn with ferruginous oolite, producing red wines of unparalleled quality. The vines were planted in 1932, 1956, 1965, 1971, 1976, 1977, 1981, 1987, 2002 and 2019. The bouquet is intense and reveals deliciously ripe, juicy and spicy red fruit. Perfectly balanced between softness and firmness in the mouth, it lingers beautifully. This wine offers excellent ageing potential.
