Domaine Faiveley Corton Clos des Cortons Faiveley Grand Cru Monopole 2021 750ml

Ruby red in color with clear purple reflections. The nose is powerful, concentrated and exudes notes of black cherry and spice. The palate is rich and smooth with good energy and concentration. The finish is elegant. An excellent wine for cellar ageing. Serve with Seared foie gras with Armagnac, game, quail, full-flavored cheeses such as Cîteaux or Reblochon.

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.

90-93 Points - Burghound
A perfumed, cool and restrained nose grudgingly offers up its combination of red cherry, raspberry, soft earth and a background touch of oak. There is excellent energy if only average density to the beautifully textured, precise and lightly stony flavors that flash a hint of youthful austerity on the sneaky long and moderately firm finale. This should repay a decade or so of keeping.
