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.
Musigny [Rouge]
Musigny is a Grand Cru appellation and a physically demarcated terroir in Chambolle-Musigny, in the heart of the Côte de Nuits. Located above Clos de Vougeot, between the Premier Cru Les Amoureuses and the Grand Cru Échezeaux, it includes the lieux-dits Les Musigny, Les Petits Musigny, and part of La Combe d’Orveau. The vineyard occupies a fairly steep limestone and rocky terrace, the southern part of which rises towards the Combe d’Orveau. The appellation permits red wines and, as a singularity in the Côte de Nuits, a small production of white wine.

Histoire de la parcelle
The reputation and demarcation of Musigny predate the AOC system: a judgment defining the cru dates from April 16, 1929. The Musigny Appellation d'Origine Contrôlée was initially recognized by the decree of September 11, 1936. The currently demarcated parcel area mentioned in the product specification was approved by the INAO during the sessions of June 1 and 2, 1988.
