Mercurey La Framboisiere Monopole
2011
Founded in 1825, Domaine Faiveley is one of Burgundy's greatest domaines. Originally the company was a classic negotiant business, based in Nuits St. Georges and engaged in the buying and selling of wine but not the production of it. After seven generations of steadily acquiring properties throughout the Cotes de Nuits, the Cotes de Beaune, Cotes Chalonnaise and now Chablis, the Faiveley family have established themselves as the most important vineyard owners in Burgundy, with 120 hectares of...

To maintain all the freshness and quality of the grapes, they are pressed and vinified on site in Mercurey. Then the wine is brought to Nuits-Saint-Georges to be matured, in part, in oak barrels for 12 to 14 months, in 19th century vaulted cellars which provide ideal conditions for raising wines. The barrels come from high quality barrel makers and have been rigorously selected for their fine grain and light toast.
This Côte Chalonnaise village gets its name from the God Mercury (God of Merchants). The story goes that a temple was erected here in honour of this deity. This climat, La Framboisière, produces wines with real character and is one of Faiveley’s highly reputed wines.
This wine has a really fruity, powerful nose, which combines delicious red and black fruit aromas and woody notes. But it is on the palate that it shows its full potential; the wine is powerful and fleshy with flavours of raspberry and other very ripe red fruits, almost as if we were biting into them. Its structure is powerful, with velvety tannins and a very long and fruity finish.
Serve at 14 °C to 16°C with grilled and cold meats.
A very impressive Mercurey, thanks to the generous raspberry and sour-cherry fruit character, the elegant tannins and the fresh acidity. Everything fits so neatly and there's enough structure for this to age really well. Excellent vitality at the long, uplifting finish.

The fragrant nose of raspberries with some floral notes pulls you into this medium-bodied, supple and elegant Mercurey that’s already delightful to drink, but also has the potential to age for some years, thanks the ripe, gentle tannins. Drink or hold.

Beaucoup plus délié et charmeur, La Framboisière est un vin joyeux et franc : son fruit épicé et suave, ses tanins abondants mais très intégrés composent un ensemble assez intense et généreux, qu'on pourra apprécier à tout âge.
