The property

Historically established since 1825 in Nuits-Saint-Georges in the heart of the Côte de Nuits, the Faiveley Family owns 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 Domaine Faiveley is one of the largest in Burgundy but also one of the most prestigious. Owning parcels of Grands Crus and exceptional Premiers Crus, the Faiveley Family benefits from a remarkable viticultural heritage.

The vineyard

If the 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 in Burgundy and oversees an exceptional viticultural heritage.

The wine

This Gevrey-Chambertin wine from Domaine Faiveley comes from a one-hectare vineyard planted in 1968, 1986, 1993 and 2019. Acquired in 2013, this terroir rests on fossiliferous rock and clay soils. Recognized among the three best Premiers Crus of Gevrey-Chambertin alongside the “Cazetiers” and "Clos Saint-Jacques", this vineyard gives birth to wines of great delicacy.

The grape variety

Pinot noir (100%).
