Description
"Cask sample. One of the more youthful wines in this Faiveley presentation of 2023s so far. Fruit/acid/tannin all in balance but the tannin is still too dominant to suggest early drinking." - 16.5/20, Jancis Robinson
"Purchased by our father François Faiveley in 2003, this clos - Monopole of our estate - faces due south. Here, vines flourish on gravelly and pebbly soil containing little clay which allows water to drain well. The unique nature of this terroir has earned it the nickname ‘Côte-Rôtie’ within the estate, a reference to the renowned winegrowing hillside of the northern Rhône Valley. The resulting wine is strict yet generous, reflecting the dry, solar and early-ripening terroir of this unique clos. This intense wine encapsulates the very essence of the Beaune terroir." - Winemaker
