WINE DESCRIPTION
Domaine Faiveley Mercurey Les Mauvarennes is a red wine produced by Domaine Faiveley in the Mercurey appellation of Burgundy, France. The vineyard is situated on a south-facing slope, which imparts a higher degree of ripeness to the wine. The grapes are handpicked and undergo a traditional winemaking process, including the partial use of whole bunches and gentle extraction of tannins before a year of aging in oak barrels, some of which are new. The resulting wine is a ripe and elegant expression of Pinot Noir, with aromas of cherries, subtle baking spice notes, and a touch of earth. It has a medium body and a silky texture, with a long and satisfying finish. This wine is a perfect choice for those seeking earlier drinking styles of Burgundy.
