Corton-Charlemagne Grand Cru Faiveley 2016
The wine
The hill of Corton is situated on the boundary between the Côte de Nuits and the Côte de Beaune. This area was classified as part of the Côte de Beaune to ensure there was at least one red grand cru. The Corton-Charlemagne appellation also produces whites, which are very different from the grand crus of Chassagne or Puligny. Faiveley's Corton-Charlemagne is a thoroughbred Chardonnay. It impresses with its substance, but also its mineral power. It will be ready to deliver in full in 10-20 years' time.
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.
