An exceptional Gevrey-Chambertin 1er Cru from a historic monopoly

The property

The Faiveley estate, founded in 1825 in Nuits-Saint-Georges in Burgundy, is one of the largest vineyard owners in the region with about 170 hectares. Currently led by Erwan and Eve Faiveley, this family estate perpetuates a heritage of seven generations, combining tradition and innovation with a new modern winery.

The vineyard

The Clos des Issarts, a monopoly of the Faiveley estate in Gevrey-Chambertin, covers 0.60 hectares. This historic plot, established in the 8th century by Charlemagne, benefits from an East/North-East exposure on limestone soils. The vines, planted in 1970 and 2005, are carefully cultivated.

Vinification and aging

The Gevrey-Chambertin 1er Cru "Clos des Issarts" Monopole 2023 comes from manual harvests. After a short pre-fermentation maceration, part of the vinification takes place in wooden truncated vats. The vatting lasts more than 3 weeks, followed by a vertical pressing. The aging continues for 16 to 18 months in oak barrels, two-thirds of which are new wood, selected for their fine grain and moderate toasting.

Blend

100% pinot noir
