Description
Domaine Faiveley is one of the largest and most illustrious domaines in Burgundy. It was founded in 1825 in the village of Nuits-Saint-Georges under Joseph Faiveley, a wine merchant with a passion for travel. In the early 19th century, trade had begun between Burgundy and northern Europe, predominantly along the rivers and canals connecting the two regions. Merchants from Burgundy would travel along these paths to exchange their wines for textiles. Joseph Faiveley was one of these merchants, introducing his Burgundian wine to the world. Today, the house is run by seventh-generation Erwan Faiveley. The wine is grown in limestone-and-clay soil, harvested by hand and aged 14-16 months in oak.
