2020 Domaine Faiveley Chambertin Clos de Bèze Grand Cru

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.

Clos de Bèze became part of the estate at the height of the financial crisis in the 1930s and is considered one of the most emblematic appellations of Burgundy. Situated in the heart of Gevrey's Grands Crus (Mazis, Latricières, Charmes), Clos de Bèze embodies their excellence. The vineyard comprises three plots with a total area of 1.29 ha: 'Grands Rangs', 'Clos de Bèze Haut' and 'Vieilles Vignes'. The grapes from each of these plots are traditionally vinified separately. Later, the wines are carefully blended and bottled. This appellation derives its depth and complexity from the chalky scree soil. The ageing process further enhances the richness and subtlety of this Grand Cru and reveals its full potential.

The vines were planted between 1949, 1955, 1966, 1983 and 2018. Faiveley owns approximately 1.29 ha of vines here. A charmingly complex nose, combining toasted accents and fruity notes. Power and elegance mingle with refined, present tannins on the palate. The exquisitely delicate finish offers a long-lasting persistence.
