Domaine Faiveley Description
Purchased by our father François Faiveley in 2003, this clos - Monopole of our estate - faces due south. Here, vines flourish on gravelly and pebbly soil containing little clay which allows water to drain well. The unique nature of this terroir has earned it the nickname ‘Côte-Rôtie’ within the estate, a reference to the renowned winegrowing hillside of the northern Rhône Valley. The resulting wine is strict yet generous, reflecting the dry, solar and early-ripening terroir of this unique clos. This intense wine encapsulates the very essence of the Beaune terroir.
Wine Advocate: 91 Points
Exhibiting aromas of sweet berries, vine smoke and spices, the 2021 Beaune 1er Cru Clos de l'Écu Monopole is medium-bodied, fleshy and layered, with a cool core of fruit and melting tannins. It will offer a broad drinking window in its supple, delicate style.
Burghound: 90 Points
A bright and airy nose reveals its aromas of various red berries, herbal tea and subtle oak influence. The sleek, intense and juicy lighter weight flavors possess fine precision if only limited complexity on the youthfully austere finale. This is attractive effort could be enjoyed young for its crunchy fruit.
