2023 Corton Clos des Cortons Faiveley Grand Cru, Domaine Faiveley

2023 Corton Clos des Cortons Faiveley Grand Cru, Domaine Faiveley

This vineyard has been a family monopole since 1874. It is the domaine's flagship wine and one of just two Burgundian Grands Crus to bear the name of its owner (Romanée-Conti being the other). This is a lifted and silky wine in 2023, with savoury spices wrapped around sapid red fruits, and a brilliant energy driving it all the way through to the finish. Simply superb.

Tasting notes

The 2023 Corton Clos des Cortons Faiveley Grand Cru has quite a floral bouquet mainly featuring red fruit, cranberry and redcurrant notes. It's not as concentrated as the previous vintage yet it's well defined. The palate is medium-bodied with a hint of crunchy red fruit, a twist of sour lemon and plenty of energy, with an impressive, mineral-driven finish. This endears itself on acquaintance and it should age well in bottle.

(93—95)/100

Medium deep purple. No great depth, An attractive softer strawberry, both on nose and on the palate. Very slightly furry tannins afterwards. Balanced fruit throughout and persistent. Drink from 2030-2036. Tasted Nov 2024.
