Chambolle-Musigny 1er Cru Les Fuées Faiveley 2008

The wine

The Chambolle-Musigny Premier Cru Les Fuées vineyards grow in shallow red clay and limestone soil. They are located to the north of the village of Chambolle-Musigny close to the Grand Cru Les Bonnes Mares. This complex wine is characterised by aromas of ripe fruits and smoky notes. Supple, it displays a rounded, distinguished, elegant aspect on the palate.

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.
