"90/100 William Kelley, Wine Advocate
The 2022 Mercurey Blanc Clos Rochette bursts with aromas of pear, orange blossom and buttery pastry, followed by a medium-bodied, ample and satiny palate that's charming and demonstrative."
Domaine Faiveley traces its history back to 1823 and through seven generations they have built up an exceptional vineyard portfolio including 50 hectares in Côte de Nuits, 15 in Côte de Beaune and 75 in Côte Chalonnaise. Indeed the latest addition of 20 ha in Gevrey Chambertin was added as recently as October 2013. These are denoted as ‘Domaine Faiveley’ while wines from purchased fruit are ‘Maison Faiveley’.
This parcel neighbours La Framboisière. The soils in Clos Rochette are very compact, hard to plough and scattered with small rocks that give this climat its name. This parcel has been one of the Domaine's Monopoles since 1933.
