Domaine Faiveley Mercurey La Framboisière Monopole 2021
Wine runs deep in the Faiveley family’s blood, as they have been deeply rooted in Bourgogne, its history, and its culture for almost two centuries now. Their values have remained unchanged over the last seven generations and are based on a deep attachment to the Bourgogne region, an instinctive passion for the terroirs, and an innate respect for man and his work. Today they are one of the largest owners in Burgundy, with holdings spreading from the Côte de Nuits to the Côte Chalonnaise, featuring polished, collectible reds and whites with exceptionally high ratings.
La Framboisière has been one of the Domaine’s monopoles since 1933 and produces very distinctive wines: intense red fruit aromas and a pleasant minerality. Their Mercurey vat house is named after this iconic parcel.

From the winery: La Framboisière, adjacent to our Clos Rochette parcel and one of the estate’s monopoles since 1933, owes its name to the presence of raspberry bushes. A quality that also shines through on the palate! Brimming with intense aromas of red fruit, it also boasts a fine minerality. The shallow, pebbly clay-limestone soils of La Framboisière provide the perfect conditions for excellent drainage. At the bottom of the slope, the soil profile becomes a mixture of clay and silt, creating a more compact and cooler terroir.
