Domaine Faiveley, Mercurey Vieilles Vignes Rouge, 2023
Domaine Faiveley is one of Burgundy's most historic estates, founded in 1825 and now in its seventh generation under Erwan and Eve Faiveley. With 130 hectares spanning the Côte d'Or and Côte Chalonnaise, including 10 hectares of Grand Cru vineyards, Faiveley operates at a scale unusual for Burgundy while maintaining exceptional quality. This Mercurey comes from a 27-hectare holding of old vines planted between 1962 and 1981 on clay-limestone soils, blended from 20 different plots. Aged 12 months in French oak with 10% new barrels, it delivers genuine Burgundy character—bright red fruit, silky tannins, and aromatic intensity—at a fraction of the cost of Côte d'Or wines. Mercurey has historically been undervalued, and in hands like Faiveley's, represents one of Burgundy's great values.
