2019 Faiveley Chambolle-Musigny 1er Cru Les Amoureuses

When we talk about Burgundy, Domaine Faiveley is one of the very best addresses. This is a large family business with approximately 120 hectares of vineyards, including famous names such as Gevrey-Chambertin, Pommard, Volnay, Puligny-Montrachet and Chablis Grand Cru.

However, it is also a family winery with 10 hectares of Grand cru and almost 25 hectares of Premier cru. The first step was taken in 1825 by Pierre Faiveley; his son Joseph turned the winery into a great top company and his wines became ambassadors of Burgundy wines all over the world. With a clear, elegant and striking style, without any exception, wines are produced here that meet the ideal image of Burgundy. “A winery of very high quality, which represents the full glory of French viticulture,” writes the famous wine author duo Michel Bettane and Thierry Desseauve in France.

Domaine Faiveley combines the principles of modern winemaking methods with the time-honored traditions practiced for centuries in their 19th century cellars. Each terroir and each vintage benefits from special attention that makes the cuvées unique. Each bottle therefore becomes a faithful reflection of its terroir.

The village of Chambolle-Musigny is located in the Cote de Nuits. This 1er Cru 'Les Amoureses' is located in an ideal location. This 1er Cru is adjacent to the Grand Cru 'Musigny'. Chambolle-Musigny is known for its 'feminine' Pinot Noirs. The Les Amoureuses vineyard contains only 0.56 hectares. The yield is only a few barriques per year. This vineyard has the appellation 1er Cru, but in the professional literature it is given Grand Cru status. It is the most refined wine of Chambolle, with super elegance and finesse. The vineyard is farmed organically, but a certificate is not requested.
