Description
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 French wine author duo Michel Bettane and Thierry Desseauve.
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 Joseph Faiveley Meursault Blagny 1er Cru comes from the village of the same name. A quintessential Meursault, it has a bright, intense nose with aromas of citrus and fresh pineapple, plus a hint of vanilla oak. Excellent depth and some creaminess make this Blagny Meursault medium-to-full bodied with a lively acidity and it brings it all together perfectly.
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 your discount immediately when you choose 'Pick up' on the checkout page. We are located in Dordrecht with plenty of parking. Click here for our address.

January 2022 Week 3, The Wine Advocate
Aromas of pear, freshly baked bread, citrus oil and baking spices introduce the 2020 Meursault 1er Cru Blagny (Maison), a medium to full-bodied, ample and satiny wine that's bright and chalky, concluding with a saline finish. It's a fine effort that should match the 2017 rendition.
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.

From: Servants of the Seasons: Burgundy 2021 (Jan 2023)
The 2021 Meursault-Blagny 1er Cru was quite primal and slightly reduced when I tasted it at Faiveley. The palate is well balanced with a crisp line of acidity, quite malic with pear and peach skin, fine extract on the finish bestowing this with a very agreeable mouthfeel. Promising.

Erwan Faiveley is on hand to guide me through a selection of mainly Domaine wines on another foggy November morning. Even a major player like Faiveley could not escape the hardships of the growing season. “For the Côte de Beaune whites, we used a lot of candles when the frost came,” he explains. “Bienvenues and Bâtard-Montrachet were nicely protected, whereas Puligny Champs Gain and Corton-Charlemagne were almost completely destroyed. We produced just three cases from [Puligny] La Garenne. Technically, we started the harvest on Monday, 20 September. But there was heavy rain, so we sent the harvesters home at 7am and began the following day. It was strange - the weather conditions were poor at first, but there was bright sunshine at the end. Without that 30mm on 20 September, I think the vintage would have been a little more concentrated in the vineyard, such as Clos Vougeot. The reds are de-stemmed, although we used some stems in Chambolle Musigny, Echézeaux and some vats of our Mercurey Framboisière. I am glad I did not push the vendange entire [whole bunch] - it’s not that kind of vintage. There was a thin line between lifting and spoiling the wine through stem addition, and it was more challenging to add them in the Cote de Beaune.”
This is a commendable set of wines that do not disguise the ups and downs of the challenging growing season. Certainly, the Musigny is majestic, transcending the vintage to a point where I remarked to Faiveley that it seems to operate on a different level to its fellow Grand Crus. This might be attributed to being fermented in a smaller vessel, unlike others in larger vats. Apropos the whites, I am smitten by the Bienvenues-Bâtard-Montrachet that outshines the Bâtard and frost-depleted Corton-Charlemagne.

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.
