Domaine Faiveley Mercurey 2010
Mercurey, Côte Chalonnaise, Burgundy, FranceFaiveley has a vineyard owner in Mercurey since the late 1960s but changed the entire management of the appellation in 2007 resulting in clearly better wines. Not quite as fruity or exuberant as 2009 this is more rustic but with solid pinot fruit over compost and floral tobacco tones. There is excellent tension between the sweet and slightly sour fruit flavours mixing raspberries and strawberries. The straight Mercurey is a blend of sites.
