‘Clos des Cortons Faiveley’ has been owned by the Faiveley family as a monopole since 1874. It is the Domaine’s flagship wine and one of just two Burgundian Grands Crus to bear the name of its owner (Romanée-Conti being the other). Overall, the 2010 vintage in Burgundy is considered a standout year for red wines. The combination of favourable weather conditions, well-structured wines, and excellent aging potential has garnered praise from critics and enthusiasts alike.
94 Vinous
Good medium red with a hint of amber at the rim. At once more sedate and more expressive on the nose than the 2011, offering aromas of plum, red cherry, curry powder, cinnamon and tobacco (the iron element in the soil is apparent). A step up in both sweetness and energy in the mouth, with its penetrating red fruit flavors intensified by white pepper, soil notes and terrific salty minerality. Wonderfully seamless and fine-grained yet sharply delineated and gripping too, and subtly perfumed from start to finish. Really reverberates on the slowly rising finish, which displays terrific spicy lift. This beauty boasts a superb backbone of tannins and minerality to support a long evolution in bottle--and perhaps ultimately an even higher score. A compelling vin de terroir from vines whose roots are in the chalk, this bottling should ultimately merit an even higher score.

Sweet and open. Bags of charm. You can almost taste the oak. A bit jagged. The acidity doesn’t seem entirely integrated. (JR)Jancis Robinson10th January 2012
