Introduction

Clos des Myglands is a 6.31-hectare Mercurey Premier Cru held in monopole by Domaine Faiveley — sole owners of the entire climat. Located at the furthest north-east edge of the Mercurey appellation, the vineyard's clay-limestone soil is rich in iron and clay with only a scattering of pebbles, sitting on deep ground. Vines planted across five generations (1963 through 1982) bring the cuvée's distinctive blend of silky velvet and warm rusticity — a Premier Cru that rewards careful cellaring.

Burgundy, France

Burgundy is the spiritual home of Pinot Noir, where the variety has been cultivated for over a millennium. Centred on the Côte d'Or — the narrow east-facing escarpment running from Dijon south to Maranges — viticulture is divided into the Côte de Nuits (sources of the most structured, age-worthy reds such as Gevrey-Chambertin, Vosne-Romanée and Nuits-Saint-Georges) and the Côte de Beaune (home to Pommard, Volnay, Chassagne-Montrachet and Beaune). Further south the Côte Chalonnaise — home to Mercurey — offers Pinot Noir of comparable craft at a fraction of Côte d'Or pricing. Soil composition shifts metre by metre — limestone, marl and clay — creating the famous mosaic of climats that define each appellation. Burgundian Pinot Noir remains the worldwide reference for the variety: perfumed, savoury, structured and capable of decades of evolution.
