Winemaker Notes:
2019 is a fresh and well-balanced vintage. The nose reveals notes of black and red fruits combined with subtle woody and smoky notes. The palate offers the same rich, fruity aromas as the nose. This full-bodied wine has a velvety tannic backbone which gives a sensation of warmth on the smooth finish.
Serve with fillet of beef with slow cooked vegetables, and strawberry tart.

Lovely black fruit with some wet earth and black mushrooms, following through to a full-bodied palate with a gorgeous core of ripe-berry flavors and soft, savory texture. Velvety.

Shows the breed and class of a wine from the Cote d'Or, this is from a 6.31ha monopole in Mercurey, on east-facing slopes near the northern edge of the village. The colour is surprisingly saturated and the nose displays a forward, perfumed plummy fruit to accompany the silky texture, and supple tannic structure. Partial whole cluster fermentation and then ageing in cask for 15 months in cask, 30% new.

A pure, lively version, this red is succulent and elegant, displaying cherry, black currant and violet flavors, with a touch of spice. Vibrant and harmonious, remaining focused and long on the finish. Drink now through 2032. 500 cases imported.

Faiveley's 2019 Mercurey 1er Cru Clos des Myglands has turned out beautifully, wafting from the glass with aromas of cherries and raspberries mingled with woodsmoke, loamy soil and warm spices. Medium to full-bodied, lively and charming, it's velvety and succulent, with fine depth at the core and a suave, elegant profile. Jérôme Flous told me that Faiveley began picking on September 9, finishing by the 20th, and that yields averaged out at around 35 hectoliters per hectare in white and a little less in red. Comparing the 2019 vintage to "a more concentrated version of 2010," he admires—as I do—its vibrant fruit tones and refined tannins, finding it more elegant than 2018. The quality of the red wines chez Faiveley is old news, and for more information on this firm's evolution I direct readers to my report published in the August 2020 Week 1 issue of The Wine Advocate. It's worth underlining, however, how good the whites are these days: Flous tells me that he now includes fûts from Damy and Chassin in the white wine barrel program, and in the last few vintages, I've found the wines' new oak component better and better integrated.
