Burgundys vineyards date back to the Gallo-Roman era, but were abandoned for many years. Thanks to the monks from the Abbey of Cteaux, well-known for the quality of their work in the vines and their knowledge of terroirs, these vineyards were developed from the XIth century.

Beautiful ruby color. This wine has pleasant, fresh, red-fruit aromas on the nose, which we also savor on the palate. It has a rich and very ripe substance, with fine round tannins. Its a very well structured and pleasant wine.

Wine runs deep in the Faiveley familys blood, as they have been rooted in Bourgogne, its history, and its culture for almost two centuries now. Their values have remained unchanged over the last seven generations and are based on a deep attachment to the Bourgogne region, an instinctive passion for the terroirs, and an innate respect for man and his work.Today, the Faiveley family is one of the most important owners of diverse vineyards in Burgundy totaling 134 hectares, with holdings spreading from the Cte de Nuits to the Cte Chalonnaise, producing polished, collectible reds and whites.

Their values have remained unchanged over the last seven generations and are based on a deep attachment to the Bourgogne region, an instinctive passion for the terroirs, and an innate respect for man and his work.Today, the Faiveley family is one of the most important owners of diverse vineyards in Burgundy, with holdings spreading from the Cte de Nuits to the Cte Chalonnaise, featuring polished, collectible reds and whites.In 1825, pioneer Pierre Faiveley (1792-1860) founded a merchant business in Nuits-Saint-Georges. His passion for trading and aging wines soon led him to purchase his own vine parcels and establish a wine domaine in order to grow and produce his own wines. It is under the next generation with Joseph (1825-1923) that the winery took important steps, in which they started to export to Europe and increase the holdings in the region, with the most notorious being their Corton Charlemagne and Corton Clos des Corton Faiveley in 1873.The third generation with Francois (1859-1918) had a difficult time facing the phylloxera crisis, and he spent his whole life trying to protect their vineyards. Under fourth-generation Georges (1887-1968) command, the winery took another major step forward with the Mercurey acquisition and three Grands Crus in Gevrey-Chambertin. Georges also founded the Confrerie des Chevaliers du Tastevin brotherhood with his friend Camille Rodier. Celebrating the culture of Bourgogne, its gastronomy, its wines, and the artisan winemakers who produce them, the brotherhood is responsible for the rebirth of the region between the two wars.When Guy (1914-2002), the fifth generation, came on board, the domaine went through an impressive growth period while facing the financial crisis of 1929 and the Second World War. It took a lot of energy to stabilize and settle the domaine as a strong actor in the region. The sixth generation saw another Franois taking the lead at the age of 25 years old. Franois did his share of vineyard acquisition with new holdings in Mercurey, Montagny, and Nuits-Saint-Georges, and he was a driving force behind the world-renowned Musique & Vin Festival. Franois wines are rich, concentrated, and known for their exceptional aging potential. As with his father before him, Franois left the key to the winery to his son Erwan when he turned 25 years old.In 2005, Erwan assumed the helm of Domaine Faiveley, and his first initiative was to invest in new winemaking facilities, thus ensuring the continued excellence of the wines. Twenty years on, Erwan has slowly evolved his familys wines to a leaner, more elegant style, accessible when young while maintaining the true potential for cellar aging. With the purchase of 20 hectares of vines in Gevrey-Chambertin in 2013, Erwan is keeping the family dynamic at the forefront of the regions international growth.2014 saw the arrival of the first daughter in seven generations with Eve Faiveley, Erwans sister. With a passion for aesthetics and an eye for luxury, she is committed to producing the finest wines that reflect their extraordinary terroir and she feels strongly about preserving this beautiful legacy for future generations. Another proof of their involvement with the community is when the region applied to classify their Climats de Bourgogne as a UNESCO World Heritage Site, Domaine Faiveley was immediately named as a Founding Patron of the classification.
