Faiveley is a centuries-old House and one of the greatest icons in Burgundy. Erwan Faiveley has taken the reins and brought this phenomenon to its highest level. The small parcels of land and the most beautiful hillsides of the Côte d'Or constitute an invaluable heritage that the House makes a point of exploring in all its dimensions. In the Côte de Nuits, Faiveley remains a symbol of excellence, producing complex and refined wines, both firm and elegant, that only get more beautiful with age.
Whatever the appellation, Faiveley always remains master of his art, sacrificing nothing in terms of quality or style, and producing straightforward, refined wines of supreme elegance.
