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.
Bienvenues-Bâtard-Montrachet
Bienvenues-Bâtard-Montrachet is a physically delimited climat of Puligny-Montrachet, also constituting a Grand Cru Appellation d’Origine Contrôlée reserved for white wines. It occupies the lower part of the slope, with an east and south-east exposure, at an altitude of approximately 250 meters. Clayey colluvium, relatively poor in limestone pebbles, covers a Callovian subsoil of slab limestones, which favors drainage.

Histoire de la parcelle
In the 18th century, the wines from the "Bienvenues" climat still appear to have been grouped with those of Montrachet or Bâtard. A court ruling in 1921 established the hierarchy of the grand crus of Puligny-Montrachet, and then the plot area of Bienvenues-Bâtard-Montrachet was individualized and recognized under the "grand cru" designation in 1939.
