Dark Cherries, Forest Floor, Chalky Grip, and Grand Cru Architectural Power

The 2021 Domaine Faiveley Clos de Vougeot Grand Cru is an aristocratic, finely chiselled Pinot Noir from prime holdings within Burgundy's historic walled vineyard. Driven by pure aromas of black cherries, redcurrants, rose petals, and subtle woodsmoke, it captures classic cool-vintage tension. Medium-to-full-bodied with tightly wound, fine-grained tannins and mineral acidity, it delivers impressive structural depth and a long, savory finish built for the cellar.

Terroir, History & Acclaim

Critical Recognition:
Wine Advocate 91–93 pts
Burghound 89–92 pts
Jasper Morris 93–96 pts
  • 91–93 Points - Robert Parker's Wine Advocate: Unusually supple and giving for this site, the 2021 Clos de Vougeot Grand Cru delivers aromas of plums, sweet berries, vine smoke and spices, followed by a medium to full-bodied, fleshy and perfumed palate framed by succulent acids and melting tannins.
  • 89–92 Points - Allen Meadows (Burghound): An unusually perfumed nose in the context of what is typical for young Clos Vougeot is comprised by airy red fruit and possesses less earth character than usual. The delicious middleweight flavors are not especially dense but they are both attractively textured and vibrant, all wrapped in a clean, sneaky long and youthfully austere finale. This too will need to develop more depth to merit the upper end of my projected range.
  • 93–96 Points - Jasper Morris (Inside Burgundy): Pale but pretty colour. Light fruit on the nose. Spared from the frost, and as is typical of such cuvees in 2021, the wine feels more complete – in fact, displaying a particularly long finish. This avoids also the blocky side of Clos Vougeot, showing instead a rather fine fresh but light strawberry fruit. One could almost suggest that it is ethereal for this appellation! Drink from 2030-2038. Tasted Nov 2022 by Jasper Morris MW.
  • Prime Clos de Vougeot Parcels: Domaine Faiveley farms approximately 1.29 hectares located primarily in the central and upper sections of the Clos, including "Grand Maupertui" and "Quartier de Marei Haut." These well-drained, limestone-rich soils provide tension, aromatic finesse, and long-term aging power.
  • Faiveley Precision Craft: Managed by Erwan and Eve Faiveley, the estate vinifies with precision, using gentle extractions and measured French oak maturation. The 2021 highlights classical balance, vibrant energy, and transparent terroir expression over heavy wood or extraction.

Highlights

Tasting Notes

Bright ruby with crimson reflections, it opens with pure aromas of black cherries, redcurrants, and dried rose petals, accented by hints of underbrush, baking spices, and a touch of flinty smoke. The palate is medium-to-full-bodied and taut, carrying concentrated red fruit through a muscular, fine-grained tannin profile and energetic mineral acidity, culminating in a firm, long, and classically austere finish.

Serving Suggestion

  • Temperature: Serve at 15–17°C in wide Burgundy glassware.
  • Decanting: Decant for 1 to 2 hours if opening young. Prime drinking window 2029 through 2045+.
