Previous NextWines taste best when shared with friends!
This small parcel, known as a 'clos', formerly belonged to the Kings of France. It is considered the best of the appellation's parcels and was purchased by the Faiveley family in 1971. Vines were planted in 1971 and 1982.
James Sucking – 94 points
"A stunning wine that is revolutionary for the Côte Chalonnaise appellation. You could easily mistake this for a top Côte d'Or wine, even for a Grand Cru. However, this is still very young and needs time until 2020 (at the very least) for the complex licorice, black forest berries and spicy bouquets to develop fully. Deep and concentrated with a lot of tannins, making this suave and silky. 50% whole cluster and great fruit quality have given this a couple of decades of aging potential."
Allen Meadows (Burghound) – 90 to 92 points “Outstanding Top Value”
"A pungent nose consists of wood and reductive aromas. Otherwise there is good freshness and verve to the dense and serious medium weight flavors that flash outstanding minerality on the moderately rustic and built-to-age finish. This is very good though note that it will need at least some patience. Drink: 2026+"
