Tasting notes
The 2.76-hectare Clos des Cortons has been a monopole of the Faiveley family since 1874, and is the jewel in their crown. The 2022 is immense. The nose entices with rich, sweet, dark fruit – pure cassis with a vanilla custard richness. Although the wine seems dense at first, the palate is broad and supple, bold and rich, laden with juicy dark fruit and powerful, mineral freshness that balances its firm structure. A colossus of the vintage.

The 2022 Corton Grand Cru Clos des Cortons Faiveley is also a real success, unfurling in the glass with rich aromas of cherries, berries, peonies, licorice and spices, followed by a medium to full-bodied, deep and concentrated palate that's cool and stony, with a tightly wound core framed by sweet but chalky tannins. This will be long lived.
Monopole. Cask sample. Very rich nose. So sweet and juicy one could almost drink this tonight! Though I’m sure it will develop far more complexity in the future. It tightens up on the end and it would clearly be a shame to drink it too young. (JR)
