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.

Lying at the heart of the Burgundy winegrowing landscape. Gevrey-Chambertin is one of the most prestigious appellations of the Côte de Nuits. The grapes for this cuvée come from parcels located on the lower slopes of this exceptional terroir, where brown clay-limestone soils mix with gravel and marl. Here, the old vines, over 40 years of age, are deeply rooted. Harvesting is done by hand, followed by partial destalking. Spontaneous fermentation takes place in temperature-controlled steel vats. The wine is aged for 12 months in oak casks, with 25% new wood.
The wine displays an intense, brilliant ruby-red hue. The expressive nose reveals notes of black cherry, raspberry, undergrowth and sweet spice, lifted by a smoky touch. The attack is supple, offering fleshiness and structure in equal measure. The persistent finish lingers with crunchy fruit flavours, elevated by a remarkable mineral backbone.
