2019 Domaine Faiveley Nuits-Saint-Georges Les Porêts Saint Georges 1er 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.

Situated south of the village, this climate has similarities to that of the 'Saint-Georges', although a little more rustic. It was considered by Dr. Lavalle in 1855 to be among the best in Nuits. These vines, the very first to be acquired by our family in the 1870s, have a very special place in our hearts and our history. They produce a powerful, structured and tannic wine typical of Nuits Saint-Georges. Its distinctive character comes from the deep, stony, brown limestone soils that extend over 1.68 ha.

The vines were planted between 1945, 1954, 2005, 2011 and 2018. Faiveley owns approximately 1.68 ha here. Black fruit aromas emerge combined with a subtle hint of wood and smoke. The fleshy and generous attack develops into a crescendo of power and structure. Beautifully balanced with excellent ageing potential.
