About this Item
In 1825, pioneer Pierre Faiveley founded a merchant business in Nuits-Saint-Georges. His passion for trading and ageing wines soon led him to purchase his own vine parcels and establish a domaine to grow and produce his own wines. Today, at 115 hectares, Domaine Faiveley is one of the biggest in Burgundy and many consider it one of the best. Under the management of 7th generation Erwan Faiveley and Bernard Hervet as Managing Director, there has been a considerable investment in expanding the domaine’s vineyard holdings, including plots in Pommard, Volnay, Monthélie, Bienvenues-Bâtard-Montrachet and Bâtard-Montrachet and Meursault. Many of Faiveley's top cuvées are bottled by hand with no filtration, resulting in clean, luxurious wines that showcase the best of Pinot Noir. Their concentration and richness are difficult to rival.

Critics Ratings
Faiveley Gevrey-Chambertin 1e Cru La Combe Aux Moins 1996
‘Very good red-ruby. Precise aromas of black cherry, cassis, violet and venison. Sharply defined, intense berry flavors are lifted by a floral quality. Strong but integrated acidity can’t hide this wine’s terrific sweetness and depth of flavor.’ - Stephen Tanzer, Vinous, 91/100 (Mar 1999)
Faiveley Nuits-Saint-Georges 1998
‘Intense garnet red hue and aromas of fruit, oak and spice on the nose. The palate reveals a smooth, rich attack, velvety tannins and good balance. A delicate, seductive and very elegant wine.’ - Domaine Faiveley
