Historically established since 1825 in Nuits-Saint-Georges at the heart of the Côte de Nuits, the Faiveley Family leads one of the finest estates in Burgundy. Since 2005, it is the seventh generation of the family that ensures the continuity of this Burgundian jewel, embodied by two great enthusiasts: Erwan Faiveley and his sister, Eve Faiveley. With a vineyard spanning over 120 hectares, the Domaine Faiveley is one of the largest and most prestigious in Burgundy. Overseeing exceptional Grand Crus and Premier Crus plots, the Faiveley Family boasts a remarkable viticultural heritage.

This cuvée is a Mercurey wine from an 11.11-hectare plot, a monopoly of the estate since 1933, and its name refers to the numerous raspberry plants surrounding the vineyard.
