Faiveley Mercurey VV Burgundy France 2022 750ml

Not as austere and edgy as the Faiveley Mercureys of years past, the recently-arrived 2021 is the best example of this wine we’ve ever tasted- an aromatic, exceedingly charming Pinot Noir with all of the florality, muscularity, gentle rusticity and great fruit you could ask from the appellation. The VV gets a touch more wood than the regular Mercurey and it adds a whisp of vanilla and extra texture to the deeply rendered dark, dusky fruit, lifted purple violet, raspberry pastille and cinnamon aromas, spicy, mineral finish and extra flash of black silk on the end
