2019 Domaine Faiveley Charmes-Chambertin Grand Cru Magnum

When it comes to Burgundy, Domaine Faiveley is one of the biggest addresses. This is a family business with around 120 hectares of vineyards, including famous names such as Gevrey-Chambertin, Corton, Montrachet's, Echezeaux and many more.

However, it is also a family estate 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 estate into a great top company and his wines became ambassadors of Burgundy wines all over the world. With a clear, elegant and distinctive style, they produce wines here without exception that meet the ideal image of a Burgundy. “A very high quality estate, which represents the full glory of French winemaking art”, write the famous French wine writing duo Michel Bettane and Thierry Desseauve. Domaine Faiveley combines the principles of modern winemaking methods with the age-old traditions that have been 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 the faithful reflection of its terroir.

Located in the northern part of the Côte, in Gevrey-Chambertin, this Charmes-Chambertin Grand Cru embodies the charm of Burgundy. The Charmes-Chambertin appellation is dominant, as it shares its land with Mazoyères-Chambertin. The vines thrive on clay-rich brown soils (around 40%), interspersed with lava and iron ore deposits. This unique soil composition gives the wine aromas of red fruits and a characteristic opulence. The stony soil contributes to the balance and aromatic finesse essential for a wine that will age well. Our ideally located vines near Chambertin, just off the Route des Grands Crus, make this wine an exceptional Grand Cru.

The vines were planted between 1959, 2020 and 2022. Faiveley owns around 0.81 ha here. Wonderfully generous bouquet combining red berries and spices with floral nuances. Opulence and elegance predominate, mixed with silky tannins. The softness is palpable on the palate and justifies a few years of cellaring to reveal the full potential of the wine.
