Description
A Full-bodied and Structured Premier Cru from Burgundy
The estate
Historically established since 1825 in Nuits-Saint-Georges at the heart of the Côte de Nuits, the Faiveley Family is at the helm of one of the most beautiful estates in Burgundy. Since 2005, the seventh generation of the family has ensured the continuity of this Burgundian jewel, embodied by two great enthusiasts: Erwan Faiveley and his sister, Eve Faiveley. With a vineyard of over 120 hectares, the estate is one of the largest in Burgundy but also one of the most prestigious. At the helm of plots of Grands Crus and exceptional Premiers Crus, the Faiveley Family benefits from a remarkable viticultural heritage.
The vineyard
If the Faiveley Estate was historically established in the Côtes de Nuits at Nuits-Saint-Georges, the house has gradually extended its vineyard in the Côte de Beaune and the Côte Chalonnaise. The Faiveley estate now owns 12 Grands Crus and 25 Premiers Crus in Burgundy and oversees an exceptional viticultural heritage.
The wine
The Premier Cru Les Cazetiers from Domaine Faiveley is a Gevrey-Chambertin wine made from a plot of 4.06 hectares composed of old vines planted in 1930, 1940, 1955, 1962, 1975, 1980, 1989 and 1999.
Vinification and aging
The manually harvested grapes undergo a short pre-fermentation maceration before vinification in conical wooden vats. Maceration for more than 3 weeks followed by pressing to obtain juices of great purity. Aging from 16 to 18 months within the historic cellars of the estate: vaulted cellars dating from the 19th century.
