The property

Historically established since 1825 in Nuits-Saint-Georges in the heart of the Côte de Nuits, the Domaine Faiveley is at the head of one of the most beautiful estates in Burgundy. Since 2005, the seventh generation of the family has ensured the continuity of the Burgundian jewel, embodied by two great enthusiasts: Erwan Faiveley and his sister, Eve Faiveley. With a vineyard of over 120 hectares, the estate is one of the largest in Burgundy but also one of the most prestigious. At the head of parcels of Grands Crus and exceptional Premiers Crus, the Faiveley Family benefits from a remarkable viticultural heritage.

The vineyard

If Domaine Faiveley was historically established in Côtes de Nuits at Nuits-Saint-Georges, the house has gradually extended its vineyard in Côte de Beaune and Côte Chalonnaise. Domaine Faiveley now owns 12 Grands Crus and 25 Premiers Crus from Burgundy and oversees an exceptional viticultural heritage.

The wine

"Clos de l'Ecu" is a Beaune Premier Cru wine, a monopoly of the Faiveley family since 2003, which comes from a 2.37 hectare plot facing south. The "Clos de l'Écu" appellation originates from the Middle Ages, this clos offered the owners of the time the possibility to pay the rent they owed to the Dukes of Burgundy. The vines, planted in 1980, 1989, 1994 and 1998, flourish on soils composed of gravel.
