Nuits-Saint-Georges 1er Cru Les Pruliers Faiveley 2015

The wine

Located between Dijon and Beaune, the Nuits-Saint-Georges Premier cru appellation includes several villages and 41 climats ranked as premier cru. The Les Pruliers climate, consisting of deep brown soils with a thin layer of clay, produces wines with a unique, flavoursome expression. The healthy, concentrated grapes are harvested at peak ripeness, and the estate makes every possible to conduct a gentle, precise vinification that preserves the personality of the terroir. The cuvée is also aged in oak casks in the estate’s superb vaulted cellars, which date back to the 11th century.
The dazzling red colour reveals an expressive bouquet, characterised by notes of prunes, blackberry and cherry combined with a subtle floral touch and a hint of smoke. On the palate, this premier cru reveals a superb structure with powerful and concentrated aromas contributing excellent ageing potential.

About the Producer Faiveley

The Faiveley family has been running this domain since 1825. In 2005 Erwan Faiveley succeeded his father in the management of the property which is one of the largest ones in Burgundy: 10 hectares of Grands Crus and nearly 25 hectares of Premier Crus, including several climates where it is the sole owner (Gevrey-Chambertin Premier Cru Clos des Issarts, Beaune Premier Cru Clos de l'Ecu and Clos des Cortons Faiveley Grand Cru). The vineyards remain very fragmented with an average size of 1 hectare in each appellation. In general, the wines of the domain are dense and fruity. The estate was the first in Burgundy to convert 120 hectares of vines to sustainable agriculture, having obtained the HVE (High Environmental Value)) certificate. Its conversion to organic practices started in 2022 and 2025 will be the first vintage to be certified organic.
