Faiveley
The historic Domaine Faiveley is one of Burgundy's leading domaines. There is no doubt that in the last decade, under the guidance of Erwan Faiveley and winemaker Jérôme Flous, they have undergone a renaissance of style, shedding their old-school, austere reds for elegant, beautifully finessed wines.
Domaine Faiveley owns holdings in many of Burgundy’s most revered vineyards in the Côte de Nuits (Chambertin Clos de Bèze, Latricières-Chambertin, Mazis-Chambertin, Clos de Vougeot, etc.) and in the Côte de Beaune (Corton-Charlemagne, Bienvenues-Bâtard-Montrachet, Volnay, Pommard, etc.) with some of these being monopoles under single ownership.
Although armed with an incredible variety of vineyards, Faiveley also have their extraordinary heritage and experience as an advantage over their local rivals. No less than seven generations of Faiveleys have succeeded each other in running the domaine since it was founded in 1825.

Vinous (91-93)
Pale bright yellow. Captivating nose combines lemon drop, underripe pineapple, dusty stone, white pepper, flowers and mint. Tightly wound and extremely backward, more salty than sweet. Quite minerally and precise owing to its cool, high site. This crisp, intense wine finishes very long and alive, with pungent crushed stone. Almost 2014-like in its coolness, density and savory minerality.$824.00 -

Vinous (92)
Pale yellow. Very reticent aromas of white peach and ripe citrus fruits. Rich, pliant, rather generous wine with lovely inner-mouth floral lift giving it an enticing coolness. A touch of positive greenness contributes to this wine's refreshment value. At once silky and energetic, this very pure Referts finishes with subtle rising length.$724.00 -

Jasper Morris Inside Burgundy (93-95)
A slightly less intense but pretty purple, some whole bunches here. They also stretch out the fruit across the palate beautifully. This is a very deft Chambolle with plenty of nuance, extremely floral, and with a graceful structure. Tasted: November 2021$911.00 -
Wine Advocate (93-95)
Wafting from the glass with pretty aromas of raspberries, rose petals, peonies and spices, Faiveley's 2022 Chambolle-Musigny 1er Cru Les Charmes is medium to full-bodied, supple and suave, with a cool and concentrated core of fruit, melting tannins and a long, mineral finish. It's especially strong this year.$1,224.66 -

(12x75cl) 2012Vinous (87-89)
Good deep red. Discreet aromas of wild red berries, spices and flowers; smells austere. Peppery and imploded on the nose; in a distinctly clenched phase and hiding its flesh and sweetness today. Finishes with firm tannins, a saline quality and a slight dryness. From vines around 25 years of age.$1,105.00 -
