Faiveley Mercurey Clos des Myglands 1er Cru 2020 (750ML)

92 WS / 91+ WA / 16.5+ JR

Pure, silky and well-delineated, featuring cherry, pomegranate, blackberry and chalky mineral flavors. Firms up, with a crisp edge to the finish. Concentrated, balanced and long. Best from 2025 through 2036. 380 cases imported.-Bruce Sanderson, Wine Spectator

Deeper-pitched and more brooding than the more ethereal Framboisière, Faiveley's 2020 Mercurey 1er Cru Clos des Myglands delivers aromas of ripe cherries, berries, licorice, bitter chocolate and spices. Medium to full-bodied, rich and layered, with a concentrated core of fruit and powdery tannins, it will demand a bit of patience this year.—William Kelley, The Wine Advocate

Tasted blind. Notably deep ruby colour. Glossy, intense, smoky character with firm structure and restrained fruit. Very assertive, and has the build to last well. -Richard Hemming MW, JancisRobinson
