The estate and the wine
The estate and the wine A benchmark for great Burgundy wines, Domaine Faiveley is one of the region’s most iconic names. Based in Nuits-Saint-Georges, at the heart of the Côte de Nuits, the estate has been quietly evolving in recent years, fine-tuning its approach while drawing from an exceptional lineup of vineyards in some of Burgundy’s most prestigious terroirs.

With Jérôme Flous as technical director, Erwan Faiveley has gradually refined the estate’s style—favoring riper fruit, greater purity, and fresher expressions, while toning down the influence of oak.

This impressive transformation, recognized with a star in the French wine guide RVF, goes hand in hand with a full organic conversion, carefully implemented across the estate’s holdings, from the Côte de Nuits to the Côte Chalonnaise.
Wine The 2022 Red Gevrey-Chambertin Vieilles Vignes captivates with its velvety fruit and deep, layered character. The nose unfolds with ripe stewed fruit and warm cherry, complemented by oak that blends seamlessly into the wine. On the palate, it impresses with its plush texture, silky tannins, and balanced structure, offering both richness and freshness. A beautifully crafted Pinot Noir, with the depth and precision to age gracefully for 8 to 10 years.
Vinification Hand-harvested, fermented in vats, aged 14 months in French oak barrels (20-30% new).
