A nod to the history of Domaine Faiveley .


This leading Burgundy wine producer was founded in 1825 on the initiative of Pierre Faiveley. At the time, the company was still a local wine merchant who assembled wines and offered them on the market. But from generation to generation, the family made a name for itself with its exceptional heritage of 115 ha of vines and its strong commitment to quality wines. Captain Georges Faiveley is just one of the personalities to have breathed new life into the estate. He was able to save the vineyards from the economic crisis of 1929 by putting all his energy into them, while at the same time creating La Confrérie des Chevaliers du Tastevin in 1934. The Confrérie des Chevaliers du Tastevin was founded to promote the traditions of Burgundy, its wines and its gastronomy. At the time, Burgundy wines had no buyers. After his death, Guy Faiveley took over and doubled the size of the vineyards. He then decided to let his son, François Faiveley, manage the family estate for 3 decades. He in turn passed the torch to his young son Erwan at the beginning of 2005. The young manager decided to bring about a qualitative change in the vast estate by renovating the family building, buying a new vathouse and improving the taste and style of the wines. Erwan Faiveley, assisted by his sister and a team of fine technicians, aims to increase the vineyard estate so as to be able to offer a complete range of wines. To this end, he has acquired the Annick Parent estate in Monthelie and 5 hectares of prime land in Puligny-Montrachet. Today, the estate produces around 850,000 bottles a year, half of which are destined for the foreign market. Vineyards and winemaking process

Vinification at Domaine Faiveley.


The historic estate covers around 120 hectares of vines in the Côte des Nuits and Côte de Beaune. 12 ha are entitled to the Grands cru appellation, 27 ha Premiers crus and 5 in the "Monopole" classification. It farms some of the finest plots in the best climates of Nuits-Saint-Georges and produces 10 Grands crus and 20 Premiers crus. The grape varieties are Pinot Noir (100%) and Chardonnay (100%). The average age of the vines is 60 years. After harvesting by hand, the estate team carefully selects the ripe grapes. The best grapes are placed in wooden vats by gravity. Fermentation takes place in open vats, with daily punching of the cap to extract the tannins and colour. The must is then pressed to obtain a pure juice of great intensity before ageing in French oak barrels for 12 to 18 months. The vinification and ageing phases may differ from one vintage to another. But whatever the appellation, the constant temperature and hygrometry in the 19th-century vaulted cellars are imperative. In all, the domaine produces 54 different wines, plus the wines of the négociants, starting with Chambertin-Clos-de-Bèze, Musigny, Echézeaux, Corton-Charlemagne, Bâtard-Montrachet, Corton through to Gevrey Premier cru 'les cazetiers', Nuits Saint-Georges premier cru 'les vignes rondes' etc. An overview of the domaine's top wines

An overview of the best wines from the Faiveley estate.

Each bottle of the estate's Grands Crus and Premiers Crus reflects the high quality and diversity of Burgundy's terroirs. There is something to suit every taste and budget, from mellow textured wines to big, expressive wines, powerful wines with great body, nervous wines with fine tannins and wines designed for laying down.
-Domaine Faiveley Bienvenues Batard-Montrachet 2017: 2017 is a good year for the white Grands Crus of Puligny Montrachet. On the nose, this wine reveals delicious aromas of fresh peaches, lemon, nougat, pear, dried white flowers and a hint of minerality. The palate is full-bodied, fleshy and elegantly textured, with a fine depth in the middle. The finish is long, a little austere, exuberant, yeasty with good acidity. An impressive wine that may reach its peak in a decade or two. An ideal gift idea at a very attractive price to give to your boss, husband or loved one.
-Domaine Faiveley Chambertin Clos de Beze 2015 magnum : an exquisite red Grand Cru available in magnum that also carries a rich and intense perfumed robe of red fruits, flowers, a hint of wood with a nice balance of acidity to make it attractive and fresh. The finish is quite long with slightly dry tannins. An ideal wine to collect or keep for years, but also suitable for group tasting at the end of the year, for example
-Domaine Faiveley Chambertin Clos de Beze Les Ouvrées Rodin 2016: another excellent Grand Cru with a beautiful cherry colour and dense, rich aromas of red fruit, blackcurrant, grilled game, liquorice, spice and new oak. On the palate, it is full-bodied and expansive, with a deep core and abundant, velvety tannins, underpinned by a hint of acidity. The wine is full-bodied with a long, penetrating finish. A great wine that deepens with age and may reach its peak in several decades. This wine on special offer is perfect for aperitifs and appetisers, but also goes well with stewed dishes and game. In the same expressive wine style, you can also choose Domaine Faiveley Chambertin Clos de Beze Les Ouvrées Rodin 2017.
-Domaine Faiveley Latricières Chambertin 2016: a red Grand Cru with good value for money. The rich bouquet of ripe red and black fruit displays spicy flavours, beautiful minerality, round tannins and an impressive finish. This wine is still young and has good cellaring potential. A must-have in your wine cabinet.
