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.

With such low yields caused by the devastating frost of April 2021, Domaine de Villaine made the wise decision to blend all of its red Burgundy plots into a single vintage. The typical characteristics of “La Digoine” and “La Fortune” are combined with the juicy flavors of generic Burgundy. The result of this 2021 vintage is an exceptional equation of quantity and quality,...

The place called La Fortune benefits from soil, climate and exposure that are very favorable to Pinot Noir. The vine being young, La Fortune is a very fruity wine, open, but more relatively tender.

The image of the Pommard appellation in general is totally influenced by the Rugiens: masculine, powerful, slightly rustic wines. It is undoubtedly the great vintage of Pommard! It has always been recognised for its personality and quality.

Monopoly of the Faiveley family since 1874, the "Clos des Cortons Faiveley" is the flagship of the estate and one of the only two Burgundy Grands Crus bearing the name of its owner (along with Romanée-Conti). 2019 is a fresh and balanced vintage. The volumes are low but the quality is exceptional.
