    The Domaine Faiveley vineyard extends across carefully selected plots, notably in the Porêts Saint-Georges terroir. This terroir, composed primarily of clay-limestone soils, favors the expression of Pinot Noir. The vines, several decades old, plunge their roots into rich soil, allowing for optimal development of aromas. The temperate and sunny climate also contributes to the ripening of the grapes, resulting in wines that are both elegant and powerful, reflecting their terroir of origin.

    Owner and history

    Currently managed by the Faiveley family, the estate has successfully navigated the changing times while preserving its authenticity. The owners, passionate about their craft, perpetuate a savoir-faire passed down through generations. They are committed to respecting the terroir and producing wines that tell the story of their region. Their dedication to excellence is evident in every bottle, reflecting their deep connection to Burgundy and its winemaking traditions.

    Vinification and aging

    Winemaking at Domaine Faiveley is a meticulous art. The grapes are harvested by hand, ensuring rigorous selection. After partial destemming, they ferment in wooden vats, allowing for a gentle extraction of tannins. Aging takes place in oak barrels, some of which are new, for 12 to 18 months. This method imparts aromatic complexity to the wines while preserving the purity of the fruit. The estate places great importance on the harmony between terroir and expertise, creating wines of rare elegance.
