2018 in an early ripening vintage. Faiveley began the harvests on the 27th of August in Mercurey. 2018 is a very classic vintage that can be enjoyed in its youth and is already drinking beautifully. The whites are showing excellent balance between freshness and ripeness, halfway between 2016 et 2015. The grapes, although harvested early, were very ripe and gave rise to smooth, light and aromatic wines. This vintage is characterised by its delicious palette of fruity notes.

The nose reveals oaky, fruity and floral notes. The palate is concentrated and well-balanced with excellent aromatic persistency. The rich aromas make this Grand Cru enjoyable in its youth although it only develops its full character after a few years of bottle age. An exceptional wine with depth and minerality.

The grapes are harvested and sorted by hand. The musts are extracted using a pneumatic press before being settled. Vinification lasts 4 weeks and takes place in French oak barrels (50-60% of which are new oak) in our cellars at consistent, natural temperatures and hygrometry. The wines are stirred frequently in order to keep the wine in contact with the lees and then aged for 18 months. This enables them to retain excellent tension and aromatic complexity as well as a smooth, delicate palate.
