When it comes to Burgundy, Domaine Faiveley is one of the very best addresses. This is a large family estate with around 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 distinctive style, they produce wines here without exception that meet the ideal image of a Burgundy. “A winery of very high quality, which represents the full glory of French winemaking art”, write 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 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 Faiveley Puligny-Montrachet 1er Cru La Garenne. For this top model of Faiveley, the grapes are harvested by hand with a first thorough selection in the vineyard and a second in the winery. The must is pressed pneumatically. Vinification takes place for four weeks in French oak barrels (40-50% new) in cellars with controlled temperature and humidity. With regular bâtonnage, the wine matures in barrels for 17 to 18 months. Aromas of Anjou pear, white flowers, fresh peach and warm pastry introduce the 2019 Puligny-Montrachet 1er Cru La Garenne, a medium to full-bodied, spacious and enveloping wine, with a textural attack that gives way to a core of juicy fruit, supported by lively acidity. This has worked out well.

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.

All this contributes to the fact that Faiveley wines are highly regarded.
