Faiveley Corton Clos des Cortons Grand Cru 2021 comes from Domaine Faiveley?s 2.77-hectare monopole, owned by the family since 1874. This flagship vineyard has eastern exposure and ferruginous oolite and marl soils. Vines were planted between 1932 and 2002, giving a range of vine ages that contribute complexity and depth. The vineyard is currently undergoing organic conversion, supporting Domaine Faiveley?s long-term commitment to precise and responsible viticulture.
Vinification
The wine is made with partial whole cluster fermentation and daily punching down throughout a 19-day vatting period. It is aged for 18 months in French oak barrels, 50% of which are new. No fining is used, and the wine receives light filtration using the lenticular module process. This approach preserves structure, purity and Grand Cru definition while integrating oak, tannin and fruit.
Tasting Note
Ruby red in colour with clear purple reflections. The nose is powerful and concentrated, with black cherry and spice. The palate is rich and smooth, showing good energy, depth and concentration. Full-bodied and structured, it combines power with elegance. The finish is long, refined and persistent, confirming its strong potential for cellar ageing.
Food Pairing
Pair with roast venison, beef Wellington, lamb, game, duck, truffle dishes, aged hard cheeses, rich mushroom sauces or classic Burgundian cuisine.
