| “Faiveley’s wines are ... supremely clean and elegant: definitive examples of Pinot Noir ... above all they have richness and breed, the thumbprint of a master winemaker.” |

Founded in 1825, Faiveley is first and foremost a domaine. Situated in the heart of Nuits-Saint-Georges, it has expanded strategically over seven Faiveley generations to include prestigious crus from Côte de Nuits and Côte de Beaune, as well as the most renowned appellations of Côte Chalonnaise, such as Mercurey. Today, Domaine Faiveley totals more than 120 hectares (296 acres), with 80 percent of Faiveley wines come from family-owned vineyards and the balance from select vineyards under long-term contracts with the family. In December 2004, after directing the family domaine for 30 years, François Faiveley handed over the reins to his young son, Erwan.
