Domaine Faiveley : Mazis-Chambertin Grand cru 2019

A full-bodied and beautifully refined red wine from Burgundy

The estate

Founded in 1825 by Pierre Faiveley in Nuits-Saint-Georges, the Joseph Faiveley house is now one of the emblematic figures of the Côte de Nuits. Under the direction of Erwan and Eve Faiveley, representing the 7th family generation, the Domaine Faiveley offers a remarkable range of wines expressing with finesse the diversity of Burgundy terroirs.

The vineyard

Historically located in the Côte de Nuits, the Faiveley estate has gradually extended its domain in the Côte de Beaune and the Côte Chalonnaise. Today, it counts 12 Grands Crus and 25 Premiers Crus spread over prestigious plots of Burgundy, which it cultivates with constant attention to the authenticity of the terroirs.

The wine

This Mazis-Chambertin Grand Cru comes from a 1.56 hectare plot facing east, planted in 1937, 1959 and 1974 on shallow soils.

Vinification and aging

Hand-harvested, the grapes undergo a short pre-fermentation cold maceration. The vinification is partly carried out in wooden truncated vats, with a maceration period of more than three weeks. The aging lasts between 16 and 18 months in vaulted cellars dating from the 19th century, with a proportion of new barrels adjusted according to the vintage.

Grape variety

100% Pinot Noir.
