⭐ 94.5 Points – Le Figaro Vin

Domaine Faiveley Mercurey 1er Cru Clos des Myglands Monopole 2021 is a distinctive Premier Cru Pinot Noir from Mercurey in Burgundy's Côte Chalonnaise.

Clos des Myglands is a Monopole of Domaine Faiveley, meaning the entire vineyard is owned by the domaine. Covering approximately 6.3 hectares, this historic Premier Cru features clay-limestone soils rich in iron and clay, producing wines noted for their depth, structure and generous fruit character.

Crafted from 100% Pinot Noir, the 2021 vintage displays an expressive bouquet of wild cherry, red currant, cassis and wild berries, complemented by subtle smoky, woody and spicy nuances.

The palate is vibrant and concentrated, combining juicy red and dark fruit with notes of cinnamon, sandalwood and spice. Velvety tannins provide structure and texture, while lively acidity brings freshness and precision.

Balanced, energetic and persistent, the wine finishes long with lingering red fruit, spice and savoury mineral notes. An excellent example of high-quality Mercurey Premier Cru, offering both immediate appeal and further ageing potential.
