Domaine Faiveley, Mercurey Clos Roy

Domaine Faiveley, Mercurey Clos RoyA subtle touch of wood sets off the aromas that also display notes of red berry like liqueur but also violet and blue pinot fruit scents. There is the same lovely freshness to the ripe and vibrant middle weight flavors that possess good balance and fine persistence. Here too there is almost no rusticity. (88 91) 2017+

readers should taste this wine as soon as possible

This wine is seamless and fearless

cassis and pressed violet

ripe and expressive black and blue pinot fruit that also features notes of smoke

The 2015 Saint Joseph has some delicate florals but is marked more by ripeness and power

Cask sample

various white orchard fruit

This is flat out terrific with fantastic upside potential but I caution that there is zero point in buying this without the intent to allow it to age

Brilliant violet
