    The wine

    Le Clos des Cortons Faiveley is one of the very rare Burgundian appellations to bear a family name, courtesy of a ruling dating from 1930. This powerful, concentrated wine, produced from vines over 60 years old, develops intense aromas of fresh red fruit (blackcurrant, cherry) when young, and truffle and leather after ripening by the passage of the years. It has a solid structure, with strong tannins and high acidity. A wine with great aging potential.

    Information about domain 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.
