Corton

Clos des Cortons Faiveley Monopole

Grand Cru

Clos des Cortons Faiveley, the only red Grand Cru on the Côte de Beaune and the flagship of our estate is a Monopole owned by our family since 1874 that majestically extends over 2 ha 76. Its unique name stems from a controversy that arose in the 1930s, when our family name was added to the original ‘Clos des Cortons’ to avoid any confusion. Clos des Cortons Faiveley is steeped in a rich history, mirroring its exceptional and complex terroir. Dominated by limestone, marl and clay, its soil is strewn with ferruginous oolite, forging red wines of unrivalled quality.

TASTING

The bouquet is intense, revealing wonderfully ripe, juicy and spicy red fruit. Perfectly balanced between smoothness and firmness on the palate, it lingers beautifully. This wine offers excellent ageing potential.
