Domaine Faiveley Corton Clos des Cortons Grand Cru 2021

Founded in 1825, Bourgognes Faiveley has been handed down from father to son for over 175 years. As the sixth generation to take the reins, Francois Faiveley manages, with equal amounts passion and competence, the largest family domaine in Burgundy. Methodically reconstructing vineyards fractured by French inheritance laws, Bourgognes Faiveley today owns more appellations in their entirety (monopoles) than any other domaine in Burgundy.

95 Points - James Suckling

This Corton Grand Cru has the imposing structure that we associate with this appellation, but also the aromatic shyness and fresh mineral acidity that not everybody will be pleased by at this early stage of the wine’s long life. For us this is a compelling expression of this great site with excellent mid-palate richness and a very polished finish in spite of a touch of wildness. Try to be patient.

95 Points - Wine Spectator

Pure and silky, offering cherry, raspberry, floral, sandalwood and oak spice aromas and flavors, this gains depth from earth and mineral notes as it builds to the long, intense finish. Shows terrific balance overall, yet this will require six to eight years to hit its stride.

92+ Points - Robert Parker's Wine Advocate

Unwinding in the glass with aromas of sweet red berries, rose petals, orange zest and forest floor, the 2021 Corton Grand Cru Clos des Cortons Faiveley is medium to full-bodied, ample and layered, with a rich core of fruit framed by powdery tannins and a taut, incisive profile.

92+ Points - Vinous

The 2021 Corton Clos des Cortons Faiveley Grand Cru has a pointed nose, a little angular after the splendid Musigny, hints of clove and white pepper filtering through the red fruit. The palate is medium-bodied with grainy tannins, quite sapid with good backbone, solid and a little muscular on the finish.
