Domaine Faiveley


Domaine Faiveley was founded in 1825 at Nuit-St-Georges by Pierre Faiveley and the family business was guided through a series of crises by a number of extraordinary men, including Georges Faiveley who founded the Confrerie des Chevaliers du Tastevin in 1934, amidst the economic crisis which followed the Great Depression, and in doing so brought along the renaissance of Burgundy wines.

Owning a large number of climats from all over Burgundy, Faiveley's holdings include 15 Grand Crus, a large number of Premier Crus as well as a number of monopoles at Grand Cru, 1er Cru and village levels. Recently their wines from the Cote Chalonnaise are re-labelled Domaine de la Framboisiere.
