Faiveley is an Iconic Domaine in the best sense of the term. They have both history and pedigree (almost 200 years and 7 generations old), but also innovation as current managers Erwan and Eve Faiveley look to the future. For years, they were considered one of the large, but high quality, negociants in Burgundy – companies that source grapes from third-party growers for wine production. But now they are a true domaine, with many prized holdings in Burgundy, farmed organically, that yield some of the region’s most sought-after wines.

Professional Reviews

Burghound

BH 93
"An overtly floral-suffused nose speaks of even more restrained notes of black cherry, earth, the sauvage and discreet spice nuances. The sleek, intense, refined and mineral-driven middle weight flavors possess cuts-like-a-knife delineation on the youthfully austere bitter pit fruit-inflected finish. Note that this is quite firm and will need time to both add depth and further flesh out."

"The 2020 Latricières-Chambertin Grand Cru is one of the best Faiveley wines on the nose: very good definition and mineralité here, poised and focused, not short-changing anyone in terms of power. The palate is medium-bodied with sappy red fruit, fine acidity and grip with a dense and quite weighty finish, yet it manages to maintain finesse. Uncompromising...in a good way." -Vinous

Robert Parker

"Continuing this site's hot streak, the 2020 Latricières-Chambertin Grand Cru wafts from the glass with notions of wild berries, peonies, exotic spices, sweet soil tones, espresso roast and bergamot. Full-bodied, velvety and layered, it's deep and concentrated, with lively acids and a layered, vibrant core of fruit, concluding with a chalky finish. 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."

"Ripe curranty fruit, with notes of earth, wild herbs and liquorice. The texture initially seems silky and approachable, but with time the underlying tannins and extract make themselves felt. From the 1.25ha Faiveley holds in Latricières. The team relates that the heat of the summer blocked the maturation in August due to water stress. Rains at the end of the month, however, helped the fruit finish ripening. The final result was partially destemmed prior to fermentation and ageing in 50% new casks."
