Held by Faiveley since 1874, this distinctive Pinot Noir combines the stature of a Côte de Beaune Grand Cru with the identity of a single, exclusively owned vineyard.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe 2012 has attracted strong bottle reviews for its concentration, balance and finely detailed structure. William Kelley awarded it 94+ points for Wine Advocate in 2020, describing a layered wine with fine tannins, fresh acidity and a long, mineral-inflected finish. It offers a mature vintage of one of Faiveley’s emblematic holdings.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eVintage \u0026amp; Winemaking\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eClos des Cortons Faiveley covers approximately 2.76 hectares. The domaine describes soils of limestone, marl and clay with iron-bearing oolitic material, giving the wine a defined site within the varied Corton Grand Cru appellation.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFor the 2012, Jeb Dunnuck’s bottle assessment records maturation in 50% new barrels. His review emphasises the balance between depth of fruit and structure, rather than oak alone. This complements later assessments of the wine’s layered palate, refined tannins and sustained finish.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eProduct Highlights\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003ctable\u003e\n\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eProducer\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eDomaine Faiveley\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eWine\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eClos des Cortons Faiveley Monopole\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eVintage\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e2012\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eAppellation\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eCorton Grand Cru\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eRegion\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eCôte de Beaune, Burgundy, France\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eGrape Variety\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePinot Noir\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eBottle Size\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e750ml\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eVineyard\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eApproximately 2.76 hectares; family monopole since 1874\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eOak\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e50% new barrels, as recorded in Jeb Dunnuck’s review\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eBottle Condition\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eDamaged back label\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGrand Cru Pinot Noir from the Corton hillside.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eExclusive Faiveley family holding since 1874.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLimestone, marl and clay soils with iron-bearing material.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e94+ points from William Kelley, Wine Advocate.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eTasting Notes\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAroma:\u003c\/strong\u003e William Kelley’s 2020 assessment describes dark fruit with cocoa, roast-poultry and woodland nuances.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePalate:\u003c\/strong\u003e Concentrated and layered, supported by fine tannins and clearly defined acidity.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFinish:\u003c\/strong\u003e Long and mineral-inflected, with the balance and persistence highlighted across its bottle reviews.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThese notes summarise published historical assessments, rather than a recent tasting of this individual bottle.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eFood Pairing\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRoast duck\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eVenison loin\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBeef fillet with mushrooms\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRoast guinea fowl\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMushroom and chestnut pie\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eServing Temperature:\u003c\/strong\u003e Approximately 15–17°C.
