A Corton Grand Cru wine imbued with elegance and power

The property

Founded in 1825 by Pierre Faiveley in Nuits-Saint-Georges, the house of Joseph Faiveley is today an emblematic figure of the Côte de Nuits. Under the direction of Erwan and Eve Faiveley, representing the seventh generation, the Domaine Faiveley offers a remarkable palette of crus expressing accurately the diversity of Burgundian terroirs.

The vineyard

Initially rooted in the Côte de Nuits, the Domaine Faiveley has gradually extended its viticultural heritage to the Côte de Beaune and the Côte Chalonnaise. It now cultivates 12 Grands Crus and 25 Premiers Crus of Burgundy, enhancing an exceptional viticultural heritage.

The wine

Historical monopoly of the Faiveley family since 1874, the "Clos des Cortons Faiveley" is one of the few Grands Crus of Burgundy to bear the name of its owner, alongside the famous Romanée-Conti. Coming from a 2.76 hectare plot facing east, this Corton wine draws its character from soils rich in marl and iron.

Vinification and aging

After manual harvesting and rigorous sorting, the vinification includes daily punching down promoting extraction. The vatting lasts 19 days. The free-run wine is separated from the press wine, obtained by gentle pressing. The aging takes place over 18 months in French oak barrels, 50% new and 50% of one wine.

Grape variety

100% Pinot Noir.
