(from winery/importer notes)
The 2022 Domaine Faiveley Mercurey La Framboisière Monopole was sourced from the estate's monopole, or plot, bearing the same name. Aged for 14 months in a combination of new and seasoned French oak barrels, it is medium- to full-bodied, with aromas of ripe black raspberries and cherries that follow on the silky palate. Accents of baking spices, vanilla, cedar, and brambly earth unfold layer by layer, adding depth and complexity. The wine finishes long, with bright, balancing acidity.

91 points, James Suckling:
"What a joyful red Burgundy. Full black and red raspberry fruit. Juicy and mouth-filling...due to the lively acidity. Gentle tannins underline this beautifully. Fresh and lively finish. From an 11-hectare monopole site. Drink or hold.

90 points, Wine Advocate:
"Faiveley's emblematic 2022 Mercurey La Framboisière, a rich and supple wine evocative of raspberries, plums, and spices... is medium to full-bodied, deep and enveloping, with all the charm but less of the frivolity that this cuvée has historically displayed."
ABV: 13.5%
