ABOUT DOMAINE FAIVELEY
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. The grapes are entirely destemmed and fermented in a mix of new wooden vats for the top end wines and stainless steel for the lesser cuvees.

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. A contender for one of the most improved domaines in Burgundy over the last decade.

THE VINTAGE
2017 is an early vintage. Harvests started on August 29th, the grape clusters were dense andcompact thanks to excellent flowering in late May. Favourable climate conditions gave charmand generosity to the wines. 2017 is a classic style of vintage that can also be enjoyed in itsyouth.

WINEMAKING
The grapes are harvested and sorted by hand. The proportion of de-stemmed grapes andwhole clusters varies depending on the vintage. The wines are punched down daily in order toextract colour, tannins and aromas from the skin of the grapes. After a 19 day vatting period,the alcoholic fermentation is complete.

The free-run wine is run off using a gravity systemwhilst the marc is pressed slowly and gently in order to extract an exceptionally pure presswine. The wines are aged for 16-18 months in French oak barrels (60% new oak and 40%one-wine barrels) which have been selected for their fine grain and moderate toast. The winesare left to age in our cellars at consistent, natural hygrometry and temperature.
