Domaine Faiveley, Vosne Romanee

Established as a merchant wine company in 1825, over the years various generations of the family have accumulated vineyards, and today Faiveley is one of the largest landholders in Burgundy, with a total of 115ha. While 72ha may be in the Cote Chalonnaise producing fabulous wines of great value, there are 10ha of 13 Grand Crus and 15ha of 25 Premier Crus in some of the finest vineyards on the Cote d’Or, including Gevrey, Chambolle, Vougeout, Vosne, Nuits-Saint-Georges, Aloxe-Corton, Pommard, Volnay, and Puligny. These are the jewels in Faiveley’s elaborately encrusted crown.

Faiveley produced wines which saw very long ageing for most of the second part of the 20^th Century, often with more than a touch of aggression of tannins and rather rustic fruit. The 21^st century has seen a massive transformation and, while the wines retain their depth and concentration, they now show more precision of fruit, with fabulous balance and finesse. These are pure and precise wines that clearly express their individual terroirs and which seem to just get better and better. Faiveley can seemingly now do no wrong.
