Domaine Faiveley · Mercurey La Framboisière · 2024
La Framboisière has been a Domaine Faiveley monopole since 1933. Adjacent to Clos Rochette, the parcel takes its name from the raspberry bushes found there, a fitting introduction to the red-fruit character described in the estate’s vineyard notes.
Producer & Terroir
The south-east-facing vineyard covers 10.61 hectares, with plantings dating to 1962, 1978, and 1981. Shallow, pebbly clay-limestone soils provide drainage, while clay and silt at the bottom of the slope create a more compact, cooler terroir. The existing vineyard information describes the site as undergoing organic conversion, rather than certified organic.
Estate Description
Domaine Faiveley · Vineyard Description
La Framboisière, adjacent to our Clos Rochette parcel and one of the estate’s monopoles since 1933, owes its name to the presence of raspberry bushes. A quality that also shines through on the palate! Brimming with intense aromas of red fruit, it also boasts a fine minerality. The shallow, pebbly clay-limestone soils of La Framboisière provide the perfect conditions for excellent drainage. At the bottom of the slope, the soil profile becomes a mixture of clay and silt, creating a more compact and cooler terroir.
Style & Tasting
The existing cuvée notes describe airy redcurrant and raspberry aromas, a smooth, fruity attack, ripe red berries, orange rind, and allspice. Silky tannins and a fresh finish complete the picture. These notes are retained as a description of the cuvée; their applicability specifically to the 2024 vintage has not been confirmed.
Serving & Pairing
Suggested pairings include roast chicken, duck, or mushroom dishes. Serve slightly cool in a generous Burgundy glass to explore the wine’s fruit and aromatic detail.
