How does this wine taste?
How full and heavy the wine feels in your mouth, like the difference between skimmed milk and cream. More alcohol, sugar and oak ageing make a wine fuller.
The drying, grippy feel on your gums and tongue, as with strong tea. It comes from the skins and seeds of black grapes and from oak, and softens with age.
How much sugar you taste, from dry to sweet. Fruity is not the same as sweet: a dry wine can taste of ripe fruit.
How fresh and juicy the wine is: acidity makes your mouth water. High acidity tastes lively and refreshing, low acidity soft and round.

Log inWhen 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.
The only red Grand Cru on the Côte de Beaune and the flagship of the estate, Clos des Cortons Faiveley is a Monopole owned by the family since 1874 and covers a majestic 2.76ha. Its unique name comes from a controversy that arose in the 1930s, when the family name was added to the original 'Clos des Cortons' to avoid confusion. Clos des Cortons Faiveley is steeped in a rich history, which reflects its exceptional and complex terroir. Dominated by limestone, marl and clay, the soils are strewn with ferruginous oolite, producing red wines of unparalleled quality. The vines were planted in 1932, 1956, 1965, 1971, 1976, 1977, 1981, 1987, 2002 and 2019. The bouquet is intense and reveals deliciously ripe, juicy and spicy red fruit. Perfectly balanced between softness and firmness in the mouth, it lingers beautifully. This wine offers excellent ageing potential.

Reviewed by: William Kelley
The 2019 Corton Grand Cru Clos des Cortons Faiveley opens in the glass with notes of cassis, wild berries, warm spices, orange rind, rose petals, espresso roast and sweet soil tones. Medium to full-bodied, deep and layered, it's vibrant and lively, marrying notable concentration with fine-boned structure. Long and mineral, it's more ethereal than its rich, muscular 2018 counterpart.
Jérôme Flous told me that Faiveley began picking on September 9, finishing by the 20th, and that yields averaged out at around 35 hectoliters per hectare in white and a little less in red. Comparing the 2019 vintage to "a more concentrated version of 2010," he admires—as I do—its vibrant fruit tones and refined tannins, finding it more elegant than 2018. The quality of the red wines chez Faiveley is old news, and for more information on this firm's evolution I direct readers to my report published in the August 2020 Week 1 issue of The Wine Advocate. It's worth underlining, however, how good the whites are these days: Flous tells me that he now includes fûts from Damy and Chassin in the white wine barrel program, and in the last few vintages, I've found the wines' new oak component better and better integrated.

Domaine Faiveley Corton Grand Cru Clos des Cortons Faiveley 2019

Country : France
Region : Burgundy
Vintage : 2019
Score : 98
A truly amazing Corton, thanks to the laser beam of sour-cherry aroma that shoots right through this sleek and vibrant wine. Great concentration, but remains light on its feet. The mineral finish extends and extends as you struggle to take it all in. Still very young with enormous aging potential. Drink or hold.

From: La Lumière Noire: 2019 Burgundy - Côte de Nuits (Dec 2020)
The 2019 Corton Clos des Cortons Faiveley Grand Cru comes from the 2.77-hectare monopole. This was actually quite closed on the nose compared with Faiveley’s Gevrey Grand Crus, coming across earthy and rather sullen at first, and opening with earthy/woodland aromas. The palate is medium-bodied with supple tannins and harmonious on the entry. The fine, lightly spiced finish reveals clove and touches of graphite. Nice persistence here. This holds a lot of promise.
- By Neal Martin on October 2020
It has been two or three years since I last visited Faiveley, whose considerable diaspora of vineyards covers the length and breadth of Burgundy. Once I had worked out how to approach their impressive new winery in Nuits Saint-Georges through the maze of road works, I met Erwan Faiveley and winemaker Jérôme Flous. “The spring saw two cold weeks of weather, just above the temperature for frost and this stopped the vines growing during May," Flous explained. “Then between June and August it was very dry and hot with two heatwaves at the end of June and end of July. There was not much water...but just enough if you compare to 2020. We picked on 9 September and the Grand Crus in the middle of the month, the same as in 2009. We cropped the reds at just 30hl/ha. The skins were not too thick, so the wines are not too tannic. There was less stuck fermentation than in 2018 when we had to re-inoculate some of the vats. I decided to add more oxygen during fermentation, so did more remontage and thanks to this I think the yeast became more competitive. We learned that from some of the mistakes in 2018. Therefore, I find that the reds are concentrated and elegant compared to 2015 and 2016. Finally, it is becoming quite a classic vintage. Whilst 2018 is more rich and concentrated, 2019 is more delicate and Burgundy in style. You might compare 2019 to the 2010 vintage.”
Tasting Faiveley’s entire range would take about as long as inventing a vaccine to cure a global pandemic given the numerous négociant cuvées, so I focused on a selection from Domaine Faiveley. Certainly I find the wines continuing a trend to more finesse and approachability. Gone are the days when the wines were notoriously tannic and austere, sometimes never fully resolving to the frustration of those that had cellared them long-term. Faiveley oversaw a wonderful Les Saint-Georges, as you would hope, given they are one of the most prominent campaigners for promotion (although things have gone quiet on that front recently.) It must be a mighty challenge in terms of the logistics picking this vast array of vineyards at the optimal time in growing seasons where timing is becoming a vital determinant of quality and sometimes I feel that one or two cuvées maybe just missed that. Stylistically, they retain a sense of solidity, Pinot with a backbone. My pick of the reds were a superb Corton Clos des Corton Faiveley and a wonderful Chambertin Clos de Bèze. Actually, the most eye-catching cuvée turned out to be a splendid Bâtard-Montrachet that is frankly leaps and bounds above the Bienvenue Bâtard-Montrachet and an underwhelming Corton-Charlemagne. At the entry-level, I have always enjoyed their wines from the Côte Chalonnaise, where they own large chunks of vineyards in Mercurey.

The history of Domaine Faiveley dates back to 1825. The domain has been family-owned for 7 generations and is located in Nuits-Saint-Georges, in the heart of Burgundy. 127 ha Vineyards, spread over Côte de Nuits, Côte de Beaune and Côte Chalonnaise, of which 12 vineyards with Grand Cru classification, 25 with Premier Cru classification and 6 vineyards with a "Monopole" classification. The estate is managed by Erwan Faiveley, who keeps the work in the vineyards in-house to control the quality of the grapes. The hand-picked harvest is carefully transported to 19th century vaulted cellars located in Nuits-Saint-Georges. To make great Burgundies, Erwan Faiveley combines the principles of modern oenology with traditional aging in French oak barrels. All this contributes to the fact that Faiveley wines are highly regarded.
Die 2019 Domaine Faiveley Corton Clos des Cortons Grand Cru heeft een geconcentreerd maar sierlijk smakenpalet van kruidige zwarte kersen en cassis, wilde bessen, sinaarschil en rozenbloesem, met onderliggende espresso- en mineralige tonen en verfijnde, zijdezachte tannines. Door die combinatie van geconcentreerd fruit, frisse zuurgraad en fijne structuur sluit hij prachtig aan bij rijkere rund- en lamsgerechten, smaakvol gevogelte en gerijpt wild of kazen, waarbij de mineraliteit de smaak van het gerecht verheldert en de tannines voor balans zorgen; extra goed werkt hij bij langzaam gegaard lamsvlees of rund met een umamirijke jus en bij eend of kip met donkere, gereduceerde sauzen.
