Domaine Faiveley, Corton Clos des Cortons Faiveley Grand Cru Monopole, 2008
There are only two Grands Crus in all of Burgundy that carry their owner's name on the label — Romanee-Conti is one, and this is the other. The Faiveley family has owned every vine of this walled clos on the Corton hill outright since 1874, making it the estate's flagship and the only red Grand Cru on the Cote de Beaune. The 2008 arrives right as Erwan Faiveley took the winemaking reins, steering the house toward a purer, more elegant style after decades of a firmer old regime. Grown on iron-rich, marl-and-limestone soils mid-slope, it was always built with structure and patience in mind. Now roughly seventeen years on, it has arrived at its mature drinking window — a broad-shouldered, mineral Corton finally showing its cards.
