Gevrey-Chambertin Les Marchais Faiveley 2010

La «cuvée»

Gevrey-Chambertin is one of the iconic communes of the Côte de Nuits, renowned for its powerful, structured Pinot Noir wines with significant ageing potential. Maison Faiveley tends two small parcels within the Les Marchais climat, covering just under three hectares. The clay-limestone soils give rise to wines that are both fleshy and beautifully structured, marked by ripe fruit, fine yet assertive tannins and a sustained mineral length. After hand-harvesting, the grapes undergo a twenty-day maceration during which fermentation takes place with native yeasts at controlled temperatures. The wine is then aged for twelve months in French oak barriques to refine the tannins and integrate the wood.
The deep ruby hue shows hints of garnet. The nose offers ripe red and black fruit alongside touches of sweet spice. On the palate, a fleshy, powerful attack opens onto a generous mid-palate, structured tannins and a finish that is both spicy and persistent.

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.
