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
‘An almost improbably elegant and pure nose of redcurrant, leather, kirsch, plum and tea and leather hints lead to explosively spicy, powerful and linear full-bodied flavors that culminate in a kaleidoscopic finish of breathtaking proportions. The only nit on this beauty is a hint of warmth though this may diminish with time as the flavors take on more weight and depth. A beauty in the making and one that will age for more than 2 decades.’ - Allen Meadows, Burghound.com, 91-94/100 (Jan 2006)
