Domaine Faiveley : Latricières-Chambertin Grand cru 2021

The structure and finesse of a Burgundy Grand Cru

The estate

Domaine Faiveley, historically established in Nuits-Saint-Georges in the heart of the Côte de Nuits since 1825, is at the head of one of the finest estates in Burgundy. The seventh generation of the family, in the guise of the connoisseur siblings Erwan and Eve Faiveley, has since 2005 carried forward the work of this precious Burgundy jewel. With a vineyard of over 120 hectares, the estate is one of the largest in Burgundy, and also one of the most prestigious. With exceptional Grand Cru and Premier Cru plots, the Faiveley family boasts a remarkable winegrowing heritage.

The vineyard

Although Domaine Faiveley was originally set up in the Côtes de Nuits at Nuits-Saint-Georges, the estate has gradually extended its vineyards to the Côte de Beaune and Côte Chalonnaise. Today, Domaine Faiveley owns 12 Grand Crus and 25 Premier Crus in Burgundy and oversees an exceptional winegrowing heritage.

Latricières-Chambertin Grand Cru 2021 is located south of Gevrey-Chambertin. The vines were planted on shallow limestone soils in 1958, 1984 and 1989.

Winemaking and ageing

The hand-picked grapes undergo a short pre-fermentation maceration before vinification in truncated wooden vats. Vatting lasts more than 3 weeks, followed by pressing to obtain very pure juice. The wines are aged for 16 to 18 months in French oak barrels (40% one-wine barrels and 60% new barrels) in the estate's historic 19th century vaulted cellars.

Grape variety

Pinot Noir (100%)
