A benchmark for great Burgundy wines, Domaine Faiveley is one of the region’s most iconic names. Based in Nuits-Saint-Georges, at the heart of the Côte de Nuits, the estate has been quietly evolving in recent years, fine-tuning its approach while drawing from an exceptional lineup of vineyards in some of Burgundy’s most prestigious terroirs.

With Jérôme Flous as technical director, Erwan Faiveley has gradually refined the estate’s style—favoring riper fruit, greater purity, and fresher expressions, while toning down the influence of oak.

This impressive transformation, recognized with a star in the French wine guide RVF, goes hand in hand with a full organic conversion, carefully implemented across the estate’s holdings, from the Côte de Nuits to the Côte Chalonnaise.
