Domaine Faiveley

Domaine Faiveley is one of Burgundy's most significant estates, founded in 1825 by Pierre Faiveley in Nuits-Saint-Georges and now spanning over 120 hectares across the Côte de Nuits, Côte de Beaune, and Côte Chalonnaise — making it one of the largest quality-focused domaines in the region. The estate is distinguished by its Corton Clos des Cortons Faiveley monopole, acquired in 1860 by Joseph Faiveley, and its position since the 1930s as the largest owner of Chambertin-Clos de Bèze Grand Cru with approximately 1.2 hectares. Erwan Faiveley, the seventh generation, took over as president in 2005, undertaking a significant quality revolution — reducing yields, transitioning to organic farming across key parcels, and upgrading winemaking practices. His sister Eve joined in 2014. The domaine holds 12 Grand Crus and 22 Premier Crus, including important holdings in Nuits-Saint-Georges Les Saint-Georges and Mazis-Chambertin. At auction, Faiveley Chambertin-Clos de Bèze and Corton Clos des Cortons represent excellent value for Grand Cru Burgundy.
