The Elegance and Power of a Great Burgundy Wine by Domaine Faiveley

The Estate

Founded in 1825 by Pierre Faiveley in Nuits-Saint-Georges, Domaine Faiveley stands as a true institution in Burgundy. Originally a négociant house, the estate has built up an exceptional vineyard of more than 120 hectares over the decades, spread across the region's most prestigious terroirs. Today, the seventh generation, embodied by Eve and Erwan Faiveley, leads the estate with a vision firmly focused on the future. True to its values of excellence and environmental respect, the family carries on its historic expertise while guiding all of its vines toward organic certification.

The Vineyard

The Climat "Aux Beaux Bruns" is located within the prestigious Chambolle-Musigny appellation, on the Côte de Nuits. South-east facing, the vines grow on flat or gently sloping ground. The soils are made up of chalky marl rich in limestone, with a higher proportion of clay than elsewhere in the village. This geological feature helps retain moisture and gives the grapes a unique structure and substance, while preserving the delicacy typical of this terroir.

The Vintage

2023 was characterised by generally cool weather conditions, punctuated by just three days of intense heat in September. This mild growing cycle allowed the berries to reach optimal ripeness, resulting in a fresh and particularly harmonious profile.

Winemaking and Aging

The Chambolle-Musigny 1er Cru "Aux Beaux Bruns" 2023 is crafted through a blend of traditional methods and state-of-the-art equipment. Vinification is carried out with precision using modern presses and custom-made wooden vats. The wine then undergoes patient aging in the estate's historic nineteenth-century cellars, ensuring ideal temperature and humidity conditions for a slow, elegant development.
