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 Nuits-Saint-Georges 1e Cru Les Saint-Georges 2003
‘Deep ruby red hue. Powerful nose disclosing ripe fruits and warm spicy notes. A smooth, clean attack gives way to a well-balanced palate with rich, smooth tannins. This wine's harmonious structure and elegance perfectly represent this Premier Cru.’ - Domaine Faiveley
Faiveley Gevrey-Chambertin 1e Cru Les Champonnet 2003
‘The nose here is quite backward and revealing only glimpses of red fruit and a lovely gamy quality on the full-bodied, rich and very sappy flavors that are densely concentrated yet retain outstanding detail on the mineral-infused and exceptionally long finish. As is usually the case, this is more a wine of finesse than power but the structure suggests that this will need every bit of a decade to reach its full potential.’ - Allen Meadows, Burghound.com, 90-92/100 (Jan 2005)
