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

The Estate

Founded in 1825 by Pierre Faiveley, Domaine Faiveley is a true institution in Burgundy. Based in Nuits-Saint-Georges, the estate now spans more than 120 hectares across the region's most prestigious terroirs. Currently led by the seventh generation, embodied by Erwan and Eve Faiveley, the estate combines respect for tradition with a modern vision of winegrowing. A committed advocate for the environment, the estate celebrated its bicentenary in 2025 by achieving organic certification for its entire vineyard.

The Vineyard

The historic Climat from which this wine originates is located in the southern part of the Nuits-Saint-Georges appellation. Owned by the family since the 1830s, this plot benefits from an east-facing exposure and rests on deep soils composed of brown limestone and gravel. The vines, grown from massale selection, receive meticulous care throughout the year, and the harvest is carried out by hand.

The Vintage

The year 2022 stood out for its particularly hot and sunny weather conditions. Timely rainfall at the end of June and in mid-August, combined with cool summer nights, allowed the berries to ripen gradually. The harvest, which began at the end of August, produced grapes of remarkable quality, combining optimal ripeness with lovely freshness.

Winemaking and Aging

The winemaking process for the Nuits-Saint-Georges 1er Cru "Les Porêts Saint-Georges" 2022 begins with fermentation in temperature-controlled wooden vats, using indigenous yeasts, with a variable proportion of whole clusters. Transfers are carried out by gravity to preserve the wine's delicacy. Malolactic fermentation and aging take place in French oak barrels (40 to 50% new oak) for 16 months. The wine undergoes very light filtration before bottling.
