Domaine Faiveley Clos de Vougeot Grand Cru 2021

. Original price: . Final price: $489.99

Faiveley owns three parcels within this iconic 50-hectare Clos, two in the lower section and one in the central area near the château, including part of Grand Maupertuis, reflecting the complexity of Burgundy’s fragmented ownership. Enclosed by drystone walls and shaped over centuries by the monks of Cîteaux from the Middle Ages onward, the Clos was gradually developed over more than 200 years, with its boundaries formalised in the 14th century and its wall completed in the 15th century. Today, around 82 owners share this historic vineyard.

Pale but pretty colour. Light fruit on the nose. Spared from the frost, and as is typical of such cuvees in 2021, the wine feels more complete – in fact, displaying a particularly long finish. This avoids also the blocky side of Clos Vougeot, showing instead a rather fine fresh but light strawberry fruit. One could almost suggest that it is ethereal for this appellation! Drink from 2030-2038.
