Description
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.
