Jasper Morris Inside Burgundy, 2017: The Vintage Report (Côte de Nuits) (11/1/2018)
(Corton Clos des Cortons-Faiveley Grand Cru, Domaine Faiveley, Red) Monopole. A beautiful, opulent purple colour starts us off well. The bouquet is sublime too, a very youthful fruit, more purple than black and certainly not red, while retaining a freshness and certainly a crisp mineral feel. It has a fine driven intensity and plenty of energy, still in a very fresh more than luxurious style.  93-95 points

Decanter, 2017 Burgundy Corton (11/1/2018)
(Domaine Faiveley, Clos des Cortons Faiveley Grand Cru Monopole, Burgundy, France, Red) You're almost always assured of a great Corton from this 2.7ha monopole, which has performed especially well in the warmer conditions of 2017, retaining acidity and freshness. Fine tannins, chalky minerality and beautifully judged oak all support savoury raspberry, red cherry and pomegranate fruit flavours. (Drink between 2025-2032)  96 points

DOMAINE FAIVELEY

Corton Clos des Cortons Faiveley 2017

Score: 95

This red starts out generous, with a supple texture buffering vivid acidity and firm tannins, allowing the cherry, strawberry, blood orange and spice flavors to star. Shuts down on the finish, delivering more structure than fruit. Licorice and sandalwood accents come into play. Best from 2023 through 2045. 300 cases imported. — BS

William Kelley - Wine Advocate

The 2017 Corton Grand Cru Clos des Cortons Faiveley is showing very well, mingling aromas of blackberries, red berries and cassis with notions of cinnamon, clove and blood orange. On the palate, it's medium to full-bodied, with a fleshy core of fruit, ripe but lively acids and powdery framing tannins, concluding with a sapid, youthfully oak-inflected finish. This is a deep and comparatively structured effort in the context of this approachable vintage, and it will merit a bit of bottle age.

Burghound, Jan-19, Issue #73
(Domaine Faiveley Corton-Clos des Cortons Faiveley Grand Cru Red) An intensely earthy nose is comprised by notably ripe dark currant aromas that are cut with underbrush, spice and a whiff of wood toast and the sauvage. There is an attractive freshness and plenty of vivacity to the velvet-textured full-bodied and overtly muscular flavors that possess terrific punch on the beautifully long, youthfully austere and notably firm finish. I like the overall sense of complexity and this too should age effortlessly. (Drink starting 2035)  92-94 points
