Histoire du domaine
Domaine Faiveley was founded in Nuits-Saint-Georges in 1825 by Pierre Faiveley, initially as a wine merchant’s firm. The family then gradually developed its own vineyard; in 1834, they acquired, notably, 1.5 hectares in the Porrets-Saint-Georges vineyard, now classified as a Nuits-Saint-Georges Premier Cru. Over the generations, the estate expanded its holdings in the Côte de Nuits, the Côte de Beaune and the Côte Chalonnaise. In 1934, Georges Faiveley and Camille Rodier founded the Confrérie des Chevaliers du Tastevin, against the backdrop of the wine industry crisis of the 1930s. Erwan Faiveley took over the management of the family estate in 2005, at the age of 25. Jérôme Flous joined the estate in 2007, taking charge of technical management and winemaking. Eve Faiveley joined her brother at the estate in 2014; together they represent the seventh generation of the family. The winemaking facilities in Mercurey and then in Nuits-Saint-Georges were renovated during the 2010s. The estate began converting its vineyards to organic farming in July 2022 and obtained organic certification in July 2025.
Les Amoureuses
Les Amoureuses is a climat officially classified as a Premier Cru of the AOC Chambolle-Musigny, located immediately below the Musigny grand cru. Its morphology is heterogeneous: an upper southeastern-facing appendage precedes a main section curving from southeast to south, where the slope softens significantly towards the bottom. The shallow clay soil rests on a compact limestone substrate. The geology varies with altitude, with Calcaire de Comblanchien dominating in the upper two-thirds, while the lower third rests on Calcaire de Prémeaux and Marnes à Ostrea acuminata.

Histoire de la parcelle
Les Amoureuses was already listed among the "first cuvées" of Chambolle in Jules Lavalle's classification published in 1855, right after Musigny and Petits-Musigny classified as head of cuvée. The AOC Chambolle-Musigny was recognized by decree on September 11, 1936. The specific parcel area granting the right to the Premier Cru designation was approved by the INAO on June 1 and 2, 1988, and the official specifications explicitly cite Les Amoureuses among the classified climats.
