Winery Notes:
Powerful, clean and well-balanced wines arise from the ideally exposed vines of this Monopole. Covering 6 ha, the clayed-limestone soil, rich in iron and clay with few pebbles, rests on deep ground. This premier Cru, the furthest north-east of Mercurey, offers a slight rustic, raw style that is both silky and warm.

Enticing nose of black raspberries and sour cherries. Wonderful freshness and vitality. Silky tannins for this appellation. Long, clean and bright finish.

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.

This intense red features black cherry, blackberry, violet and mineral aromas and flavors. Supple yet dense, with fine overall balance and a long, fruit-stained aftertaste. Best from 2027 through 2042. 386 cases imported.
