France » Burgundy » Domaine Faiveley » Mercurey Rouge 1er Cru Clos des Myglands 2010Summary
Domaine Faiveley combines the principles of modern winemaking methods with the time honored traditions that have been practiced for centuries within their 19th century cellars. Each terroir and each vintage, benefits from special attention which makes the cuvées unique. Each bottle therefore becomes the faithful reflection of its terroir.
Terroir: Another of Domaine Faiveley's famed monopoles, 1er Cru Clos de Myglands (mee-glaund) is a 14 acre parcel located south of the village of Mercurey and adjacent to Faiveley's lieu-dit La Framboisiere. Vines here date back to 1961 and are planted in a mixture of clay and limestone soils.
Vinification: Grapes are hand harvested, sorted and pressed on site in Mercurey. Following vinification the young wines are brought to the domaine cellars in Nuits-St-Georges for aging. The wine is aged in a combination of stainless steel and oak for 12 to 14 months prior to release. Approximately 1/3 of the oak is first use.
Vines planted in: 1963-1992
Average Production: 35,400 bottles

Date: Sunday, January 1, 2012"Deep ruby. A similar but distinctly more complex nose complements the equally complex, richer and slightly finer medium-bodied flavors that possess a bit better phenolic maturity, all wrapped in a generous and naturally sweet finish. I like both the purity and the detail here."

Date: Sunday, January 1, 2012"Good bright red. Deep aromas and flavors of black cherry, raspberry, menthol and licorice. Richer and larger-scaled than the Framboisiere, showing more depth and structure. Finishes with good length. This vineyard is actually located beneath Framboisiere but its soil is redder and richer in clay content."
