Description
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.
FACT : The wine is in our conditioned Wine Warehouse and if you come to pick up the wine you will often also receive a nice discount. You will see the possible discount immediately if you choose Pick up on the Checkout page. We are located almost next to the Rijksweg with plenty of parking. Click here for address.

Mingling deep fruit tones evocative of red cherries and plums with notions of loamy soil, licorice, orange rind, rose petals and sweet spices, the 2020 Corton Grand Cru Clos des Cortons Faiveley is full-bodied, layered and multidimensional, with terrific concentration, tangy acids and a long, saline finish. This is extremely promising.
Jérôme Flous told me that he began harvest on August 19, and he was as pleased with the wines as he was taken aback by their vibrancy and saturated hues. It's a terrific set of wines for Faiveley, with lower alcohol and lower pHs than in 2019 but with incredible concentration and purity. Everything reviewed here comes warmly recommended.

Domaine Faiveley Corton Grand Cru Clos des Cortons Faiveley 2020
What a stunning fragrance this Corton has, with ripe damson, pomegranate and floral notes interacting in a very exciting way with the wild-herb notes. Very concentrated and focused, without any sense of weight, the finish incredibly vibrant and mineral. Really lifts off at the very long finish. Drink or hold.

From: Dance the Quickstep: Burgundy 2020 (Dec 2021)
The 2020 Corton Clos des Cortons Faiveley Grand Cru has quite a rich and outgoing bouquet, plenty of mulberry fruit here laced with touches of tobacco. The palate is medium-bodied with sappy red berry fruit, quite ripe and slightly confit towards the finish, generous but let’s see how long-term it is.

“There are three important things with regard to the 2020 vintage,” winemaker Jérôme Flous told me after we met and I completely failed to recognize him (he just seemed younger than I remembered). “The first is the date of picking. For Faiveley, it is the earliest date ever, starting on August 19, which is earlier than 2003. It was very dry during the season, with less than half the usual rain. Between July 15 and August 15, there was only 5mm. The other important factor is the gap between red and white in terms of volume. The Chardonnay produced 80% more than the Pinot Noir, 45hl/ha compared to 25hl/ha, with the same growing season and same flowering. How? Well, on May 18, we had flowering in very good conditions, which corresponds to the Chardonnay, but on May 23, it was wet, rainy and windy. It was like winter, and this disturbed the flowering for the Pinot Noir. If you then factor in the dryness, that explains the difference.” Pushed to expand upon his view of the growing season, Flous told me: “I like the 2020 because each terroir is expressed. It has the rusticity of 2014 with the richness of 2019, though it is not as big as that vintage. The alcohol levels are around 13.2° and 13.5°, less than 2019 with more acidity. We didn’t have to do any acidification or chaptalization.” I thought this was a very respectable set of wines from Faiveley that may show a little more elegance than the 2019s.

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.
