Faiveley
The historic Domaine Faiveley is one of Burgundy's leading domaines. There is no doubt that in the last decade, under the guidance of Erwan Faiveley and winemaker Jérôme Flous, they have undergone a renaissance of style, shedding their old-school, austere reds for elegant, beautifully finessed wines.
Domaine Faiveley owns holdings in many of Burgundy’s most revered vineyards in the Côte de Nuits (Chambertin Clos de Bèze, Latricières-Chambertin, Mazis-Chambertin, Clos de Vougeot, etc.) and in the Côte de Beaune (Corton-Charlemagne, Bienvenues-Bâtard-Montrachet, Volnay, Pommard, etc.) with some of these being monopoles under single ownership.
Although armed with an incredible variety of vineyards, Faiveley also have their extraordinary heritage and experience as an advantage over their local rivals. No less than seven generations of Faiveleys have succeeded each other in running the domaine since it was founded in 1825.

Jancis Robinson (18)
Barrel sample. Mid crimson, a little lighter in colour than the Grands Échezeaux. Brighter fruited and a little more floral, with a stony/mineral elegance as well as that pure and perfumed dark-red fruit. A youthful beauty.Inc. TAX€1,050.78 -
Wine Advocate (93-95+)
The 2019 Corton Grand Cru Clos des Cortons Faiveley opens in the glass with notes of cassis, wild berries, warm spices, orange rind, rose petals, espresso roast and sweet soil tones. Medium to full-bodied, deep and layered, it's vibrant and lively, marrying notable concentration with fine-boned structure. Long and mineral, it's more ethereal than its rich, muscular 2018 counterpart.Inc. TAX€1,492.38 -
Decanter (97)
The grapes are vinified partly as whole clusters and punched down each day before ageing for 18 months in cask (half new). Despite the fairly aggressive vinification, the wine has an enchantingly lovely, forward fruit character and a delightful, silky approachability. From my experience, this will continue to improve for decades. The Clos des Cortons Faiveley has been a monopole of the house since 1874. They have 2.77ha planted to Pinot Noir here, north of Renardes in this distinctly separate climat of the lieu-dit Le Rognet.Inc. TAX€1,558.38 -
Jasper Morris Inside Burgundy (92-95)
A pretty fresh ruby crimson. The nose is elegant for Corton, fruit enhanced by a floral top note. Very good. Crisp, mineral, vertical, somewhat raw but with a fine quality of fruit, reasonable persistence. The new wood is not marking in flavour but does help to make the structure. Drink from 2028-2036.Inc.

Vinous (93+)
Full yellow-gold. Deeply pitched, brooding nose hints at white peach, mirabelle and honey. Big, chewy, ripe and rich, with smoky soil tones currently dominating the wine's primary fruit. This is tactile and surprisingly round for young Corton-Charlemagne but will need patience to express itself. Its sheer density and length suggest it will reward extended cellaring.Inc. TAX€2,164.38 -
Decanter (97)
A hard-to-beat Corton-Charlemagne in 2017, this comes from cool, east-facing vineyards that ripen very slowly, even in a warm year. Focussed, pithy and fizzing with energy, it's a rich, dense wine with 40% new oak, creamy lees and a tangy, mouthwatering finish.Inc. TAX€1,952.80 -
Decanter (96)
The Faiveley holdings add up to 0.87ha on variety of soil types and altitudes, but they are all comparatively cool. This was picked late as a result on September 4th and marries richness, weight and honeyed complexity with vibrant, mineral-edged acidity and scented oak. A textbook Corton-Charlemagne from a year that didn't lend itself to classic wines.Inc. TAX€3,737.59 -

The 2021 Corton-Charlemagne Grand Cru was heavily affected by the frost resulting in just four barrels rather than the usual 16 or 17; their plot is located on the Ladoix side. At the moment there is quite a bit of reduction on the nose that occludes the terroir expression at the moment. The palate is taut and fresh, a judicious slice of bitter lemon lends tension that sutures with the apricot and lemongrass notes on the finish that has a little more persistence than the Bâtard-Montrachet. Promising despite everything.Inc. TAX€545.65 -

Vinous (88+)
Medium, bright red. Nose dominated by marzipan, herbs and spicy oak. Hints at sweet red fruits on entry, then turns dry, juicy and penetrating, with strongly oaky cherry and almond tones. I find a slightly raw, green quality in the middle palate and on the back end. Finishes with substantial and somewhat dry oak tannins. An awkward showing.Inc. TAX€2,476.38 -
Vinous (92+)
(from a parcel close to Bouchard's in En Orveaux): Good medium red. Medicinal cherry, licorice, peppery herbs and minerals on the nose, lifted by a floral topnote. At once dense, fine-grained and juicy; seamless but a bit withdrawn, even reduced, offering savory mineral complexity to its redcurrant, raspberry and cranberry fruit flavors. Uncompromisingly dry wine in a cool, energetic, even slightly lean style, in need of patience. But there's lovely density of texture here. The tannins are firm-edged on the lively, youthfully medicinal back end. This grand cru gained in sweetness with extended aeration.Inc. TAX€1,276.38 -

The 2019 Echézeaux En Orveaux Grand Cru is one of the few cuvées to includes 25% whole bunch. It has a light, airy bouquet of dark berry fruit, incense and a touch of lavender. The palate is medium-bodied with dry tannins on the entry, the stem addition lending quite a strong black pepper note toward the finish, which just feels a little abrupt.Inc. TAX€1,564.38 -
Vinous (90-92)
The 2021 Echézeaux En Orveau Grand Cru comes from a parcel on the south-facing slope and includes some stem addition. It is fragrant on the nose with hints of white pepper and bay leaf embroidered into the lifted red fruit. Quite complex and focused. The palate is medium-bodied with a fresh, almost citrus-like entry, a little bony towards the finish but with more persistence than the Clos Vougeot.Inc. TAX€770.88 -

Slightly less saturated color. Very complex, soil-inflected nose hints at game, gunflint, licorice and tar. Less dense than the Clos Vougeot but equally intense. And suppler on the finish, thanks to more thoroughly buffered tannins.Inc. TAX€3,527.98 -
Vinous (89-92)
Saturated red-ruby. Aromas of cassis, black cherry, mineral and flowers. Quite primary and a bit youthfully tough and angular, with little early sweetness. A distinctly muscular wine, best today on the long finish, where the black fruit flavors outlast the serious tannins. I may be underestimating this.Inc. TAX€1,522.38 -
Vinous (92+)
Saturated, bright red-ruby. Musky aromas of red berries, minerals, underbrush, smoke and oak. The mid-palate shows a vibrant sweetness and a pronounced minerality but today is dominated by a strong and slightly raw oakiness. I find this tough going today, but the wine's powerful extract, strong acidity and firm tannic spine suggest it will reward 10 or 12 years of cellaring. (Unfortunately, my sample of the Mazis-Chambertin was corked.)Inc. TAX€535.33 -
Wine Spectator (97)
There is a fluidity here, along with pure black currant, black cherry and violet flavors and a balanced whole that makes this red feel very comfortable in its own skin. All that to say this is almost seamless and, given the long aftertaste, shows terrific potential. Features a long, mineral aftertaste. Best from 2023 through 2047. 900 cases made, 50 cases imported. — BSInc. TAX€1,540.38 -
James Suckling (98)
An extraordinary wine, even for this very special Grand Cru. So mineral and pure with a gigantic concentration of sour cherries. The extremely fine and racy finish lifts off towards the heavens. You could drink it on release, but this has enormous aging potential. Try to wait until 2023.Inc. TAX€1,816.38 -
Vinous (94-96)
The 2019 Latricières-Chambertin Grand Cru has more cohesion and intensity than the Charmes-Chambertin, presenting lovely brambly red berry fruit mingled with potpourri and light loamy aromas. The palate is medium-bodied with fine-boned tannins, taut and crisp, displaying good depth and an animated chalky, briny finish. Classic in style, this is a superb Latricières from Faiveley, though it will need cellaring.Inc. TAX€1,702.38 -
Jasper Morris Inside Burgundy (95-98)
Medium full purple, this has a lively full raspberry note without exaggeration. There is a just a little bit of white pepper here too, like the Lavaux, but it doesn’t come from whole bunch. This follows through very well on the palate, with great length and perfect balance, and just a touch more fruit volume than the Echezeaux. Tasted: November 2021Inc. TAX€1,714.38 -
Jasper Morris Inside Burgundy (92-94)
Fairly dense crimson in colour. There is a solid weight of fruit on the nose, dark raspberry with some strawberry too. Some depth to this. A mix of mineral and floral for Jérôme while I find something earthier. Firm tannins at the finish but plenty of fruit to surround them. Drink from 2028-2036.Inc. TAX€880.08 -

Bright, deep red. Very deep aromas and flavors of raspberry, redcurrant, smoke and crushed rock. At once penetrating and utterly fine-grained; explosive sappy perfume fills the mouth without leaving any impression of weight.

Tasted blind at the Burgfest 2014 tasting, Faiveley's 2014 Mazis-Chambertin Grand Cru has a very perfumed bouquet with pure dark plum, bergamot and pressed rose petal aromas that filter from the glass. Wonderful. The palate is very well balanced with a fine line of acidity, tensile from the start with hints of bay leaf and spice toward the structured and persistent finish. This is a very strong showing from Faiveley, a really marvelous Mazis-Chambertin for the long-haul. Tasted September 2017.Inc. TAX€1,600.38 -

The 2016 Mazis-Chambertin Grand Cru has a detailed, mineral-driven bouquet with precise red fruit intermingling with sous-bois and light rose petal aromas. This is a killer combination of power and finesse. The palate is medium-bodied with fine, supple tannins and a perfectly judged bead of acidity. Silky in texture, it fans out with marvelous precision towards the finish. The oak is seamlessly integrated. A fabulous wine from start to finish. Tasted blind at the 2016 Burgfest tasting.Inc.
