Faiveley is an independent, family owned domaine which was founded in Nuits St Georges in 1825. It is currently run by the founder’s great-great-great-great grandson Erwan Faiveley, who has taken over from his father François. Erwan represents the seventh generation of the Faiveley family.
Wine Making
To maintain all the freshness and quality of the grapes, they are pressed and vinifed on site in Mercurey. The wine is then brought to Nuits-Saint-Georges to be matured.
Only a small part of the cuvee is raised in oak barrels for 10 to 12 months, which allows the wine to acquire delicate woody notes without masking the liveliness and the character sought after in the Côte Chalonnaise white wines. |
