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
‘As one might reasonably expect, this is bigger and richer than the Fuées but it's not finer or deeper though to be sure, the spicy black fruit nose is expressive and generous as are the huge, intense and muscular full-bodied flavors that are sweet and powerfully structured though again, there is more than enough balancing extract to buffer them. Still, this is a wine for the patient.’ - Allen Meadows, Burghound.com, 90-93/100 (Jan 2005)
‘Medium red. Aromas of strawberry jam, redcurrant, iron, mocha and coffee. Rich, fat and supple, with flavors of redcurrant and spices and considerable stuffing. Finishes suave and ripe, with substantial but fine tannins and very good length.’ - Stephen Tanzer, Vinous, 90/100 (Mar 2006)
