Chambertin Clos de Bèze Grand Cru Faiveley 2002

The wine

Chambertin Clos de Bèze is the domaine's most emblematic cru. And rightly so: this grand cru, adjoining Chambertin, produces a wine of incomparable elegance and breeding. The Faiveley house has produced one of its finest cuvées. The attack is firm, revealing a wine with great structure. However, the tannic texture is infinitely refined. Its tannins are well coated, delivering delicious red fruit notes. The long finish is impressive.

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.
