Still of great import to Burgundy, the Domaine Faiveley began its two-century existence as a negociant, only to quickly realize their future lay in vineyard ownership. Today, they are one of the largest owners of Burgundian vineyards - some 120 hectares - and, yes, do make some negociant wines; and yet, the Domaine is entirely owned by two members of the original Faiveley family. For a sense of the well-honed sense of authenticity, finesse & depth, try the 2022 Corton Grand Cru, Clos des Cortons Faiveley,the best representation of the house given its 150-year ownership by the Faiveleys - a true epitome of "classic" for a reason.

Domaine Faiveley

After celebrating their bicentennial in 2025, the Domaine Faiveley remains as a true standard-bearer of Burgundian estates. From the first vineyard purchase in 1834, the Nuits-Saint-Georges-based estate set itself apart from other negociants and today continues to do so by remaining wholly owned by the very same family. 

Erwan Faiveley and his two sisters oversee all parts of business and production, Erwan having succeeded his father Francois in 2014. What came to turn at that time was a changing not only of the guard, but of the overall breadth and style. Erwan pared down the offerings, truly focusing on only their most special vineyards and those with longstanding connections to the estate. His tastes were also quite different from those of his father - Francois favored the classic Nuits-Saint-Georges styles:  very tannic, savory and dense wines - and today Faiveley's wines are downright pretty, suave and more compelling than any in memory. 

While the wines of yesteryear have stood the test of time - that tannin acted very much as a preservative of sorts - the styles today favored by keen drinkers fall much in line with Erwan's tastes. With both a  talented winemaker and vineyard manager now in tow, Erwan's belief in the resulting wines has compounded. Effects like that of gravity flow (rather than pumps), hand-sorting and judicious use of new oak have rung in a new chapter of what is a true classic.

The 2021 Chambertin-Clos de Bèze Grand Cru is beautiful, wafting from the glass with aromas of sweet red berries, orange zest, Asian spices, rose petals and sweet forest floor. Full-bodied, ample and fleshy, it's layered, concentrated and complete, uniting the sensual aromatics and textures of Faiveley's Latricières with all the musculature and more of their Mazis to compelling effect.

The 2021 Chambertin Clos-de-Bèze Grand Cru has a riper and more candied nose than Bruno Clair's Clos de Bèze, although it does not deliver quite the same delineation or mineralité. That said, you have to admire its purity of fruit. The palate is rounded on the entry with slightly chewy tannins. Not as precise as its peers but with pleasant red fruit tinged with cooked meats. Quite dense on the finish, muscular. This will need time to forage more grace, though that does begin seeping through with continued aeration. Tasted blind at the Burgfest tasting.
