"La Favorite" is a parcel selection of Mercurey 1er Cru "Le Clos du Roy" from vines located on the south-east facing hillside.
The name of this climate probably comes from the distortion of the word "perreuse" (stone), the name given to the ancient Roman road whose route passed at the end of the current vineyard. The soil is structured for aging, with dense and compact clay soil resting on a limestone slab, which produces long and elegant wines.
Wine from a single vine belonging to Domaine Olivier Leflaive, planted in 1955. Who better than this plot to evoke the terroir of Puligny-Montrachet? The land is light and stony, the small water sources prevent it from suffering in summer. Wine of great refinement.
Le Clos du Roy once belonged to the Kings of France. It was considered one of the best plots in the appellation. The Faiveley family acquired it in 1971. This wine could be compared to a village in the Côte de Nuits for the finesse of its tannins and its length in the mouth.
Monopoly of Domaine Chanson in the heart of the Premiers Crus of Beaune. The 3.80 hectare vineyard is located mid-slope. Le Clos des Fèves was listed as early as 1307 under the Latin name "Fae" (beech in Latin).
On their rock terrace, the Musigny and the Petits Musigny overlook the Clos de Vougeot, facing the rising sun. There was a Gallo-Roman settlement there whose owner was called Musinus, he gave his name to what would become one of the most prestigious terroirs in Burgundy. Ten owners now produce Musigny Grand Cru, Faiveley is the smallest with only 3 "ouvrées"
