The 2022 Domaine Faiveley Mercurey Premier Cru “Clos des Myglands” Monopole is an outstanding Pinot Noir that exemplifies the elegance and depth of Mercurey, the largest appellation in the Côte Chalonnaise. As a monopole vineyard owned exclusively by Domaine Faiveley, “Clos des Myglands” benefits from meticulous vineyard management and winemaking expertise, showcasing the estate’s commitment to crafting wines of exceptional quality.

In the glass, the wine reveals a deep ruby color. The nose is enticing and layered, offering aromas of ripe red cherries, blackberries, and plums, complemented by notes of violets, warm spices, and a subtle hint of earth. On the palate, it is medium-bodied with a supple and refined texture, supported by silky tannins and bright acidity. The core of juicy red and dark fruit flavors is balanced by earthy undertones and a whisper of minerality, leading to a long, harmonious finish with a touch of spice.

The 2022 vintage, characterized by warm and consistent conditions, imparts a ripe and approachable character to this wine while preserving its hallmark freshness and structure. It pairs beautifully with roasted duck, grilled lamb, or mushroom-based dishes. While approachable now for its vibrant fruit and polished tannins, this Premier Cru has the depth and balance to age gracefully over the next 8–10 years, developing further complexity and nuance. Domaine Faiveley’s “Clos des Myglands” Monopole is a testament to the potential of Mercurey’s Premier Cru vineyards, offering both charm and sophistication in equal measure.
