Mercurey AOC Premier Cru Pinot Noir 'Le Clos du Roy' 2022 (750 ml.) Joseph Faiveley
The Mercurey AOC Premier Cru Pinot Noir “Le Clos du Roy” 2022 by Joseph Faiveley is one of the finest expressions of the Côte Chalonnaise. Hand-harvested and carefully selected Pinot Noir grapes from the prestigious climat Le Clos du Roy undergo traditional fermentation in wooden vats with about 20 days of maceration, extracting color, aromas, and tannins. Ageing takes place for 12–14 months in French oak barrels, partly new, adding complexity and longevity without overshadowing varietal freshness. The nose shows red fruits, fine spices, and light toasted notes, while the palate is elegant, structured, and persistent. Perfect with red meats, game, and aged cheeses, it pairs rich dishes with harmony and precision.

Domaine Faiveley
Domaine Faiveley: The Excellence of Burgundy since 1825
The Domaine Faiveley is one of the most prestigious and historic estates in Burgundy, active since 1825 and today a point of reference for those seeking wines of the highest quality, an authentic expression of the French terroir. Located in the heart of the Côte d'Or, the domaine extends over more than 120 hectares of vineyards, including some of the most coveted plots in the region, such as Grand cru like Corton-Charlemagne, Clos de Vougeot, and Chambertin-Clos de Bèze, as well as renowned Premier cru from Nuits-Saint-Georges, Gevrey-Chambertin, and Puligny-Montrachet.
The production philosophy of Faiveley combines tradition and innovation: each plot is cultivated with meticulous attention, vinified separately to highlight the identity of each cru, with spontaneous fermentations and aging in selected oak barrels. The result is a range of wines of extraordinary elegance and complexity, capable of expressing all the refinement of Burgundian Pinot Noir and Chardonnay.
Structured, long-lived, and deeply expressive wines: the reds are distinguished by the purity of the fruit, the fineness of the tannins, and the balance between power and harmony; the whites reveal themselves to be mineral, intense, and persistent. Ideal for collectors and those seeking high-level oenological experiences.
