Domaine Faiveley Clos des Issarts Monopole Gevrey-Chambertin Premier Cru, France 2021

This 0.60-hectare monopole has a superb location at the top of the slope just north of Ruchottes-Chambertin grand cru. The wine features bright, clean, ripe black cherry fruit, with notes of rose petals and earth, with a lively and vibrant texture, plenty of freshness, and a tannic grip leading to a lingering finish. Although it has plenty of structure, it is not lacking fruit, which has a pleasantly sweet character through the end. Harvest for this parcel began on 24 September. (Drink between 2025-2040)
