Domaine Faiveley's Clos De La Roche Grand Cru is a quintessential expression of Burgundy's esteemed winemaking heritage. Nestled in the prestigious Clos de la Roche appellation, this Grand Cru vineyard is renowned for its exceptional terroir. The unique soil composition, characterized by limestone and clay, imparts a distinct minerality to the wine.

The wine is crafted with meticulous attention to detail, from hand-picking the grapes to aging in fine oak barrels. The result is a Pinot Noir that eloquently speaks of its origin, combining power, elegance, and a remarkable aging potential.
NOTES FROM VINOVOSS SOMMELIER
The Domaine Faiveley Clos De La Roche Grand Cru captivates with its intense, deep garnet color.The nose is a complex symphony of aromas, featuring dark fruits like black cherries and plums, layered with earthy notes, truffles, and a subtle hint of oak. On the palate, the wine unfolds with a rich tapestry of flavors – ripe blackberry, licorice, and a touch of spice, all underpinned by a firm tannic structure and a bright acidity that brings balance and longevity. The finish is long and memorable, leaving a lasting impression of the vineyard's distinguished character. This Grand Cru is an exquisite representation of Burgundy's finesse and the prowess of Domaine Faiveley's winemaking.
