Domaine Faiveley

Every Faively Burg I’ve had of late has impressed! A contender for one of the most improved Domaine in Burgundy over the last decade.

Based in Nuits-St-Georges, the famous Domaine Faiveley was founded in 1825, and in more recent times, the Domaine has greatly expanded its vineyards across the entire Côte d’Or.

Once notorious for being fairly austere, there has been less emphasis on extraction over the last ten years and the wines show increased freshness, purity of fruit, and more judicious use of oak.

The second was arguably more important in that it heralds a change in style. Long-time readers may remember that in 2007 the Domaine made the dramatic decision to change the style of its reds, which up to that point could be fairly described as unapologetically old school. In other words, reds that were firmly structured, sturdy and built-to-age for the long-term. In 2007 this at times rustic style was discarded in favour of wines that possessed more elegance and finesse in the hopes of creating more supple burgundies that required less long-term cellaring.
