Faiveley Mercurey Vieilles Vignes 2023
The Wine
This wine boasts exceptional aromatic intensity, with a captivating sweetness and fruitiness, offering perhaps more density and structure than expected. Juicy raspberry and strawberry aromas blend beautifully with a subtle touch of vanilla (just the right amount!). It's the standout bargain of the 2023 lineup, though it remains untasted and unrated. Trust in the vintage's quality, the age of the vines, the vineyard attendants' expertise, and the producer's reputation. This red is highly recommended for both drinking and cellaring.

About the Wine Maker 
It was Guy Faiveley who in 1964 decided to expand the vineyard holdings of Domaine Faiveley into the Côte Chalonnaise mainly in the Village of Mercurey, The main reason for the purchase was to be able to offer good value wines from Burgundy since already back then the wines from the Côte de Nuits and the Côte de Beaune were expensive!
Mercurey is mainly a red appellation but there is a small amount of Mercurey Blanc made from Chardonnay both on village and premier cru sites.
The 27 acre vineyard La Framboisière is a monopole of Domaine Faiveley and is located in the heart of Mercurey’s 1er Crus to the northeast of the village. Vines date back as far as 1949 and are planted in soils of clay and limestone.
