For more than 180 years the love of wine has been passed on from one Faiveley generation to the next. The Domaine has remained in the same family and always completely independent.Domaine Faiveley is one of the largest vineyard owners in Burgundy. Almost self-sufficient, Faiveley makes 80% of its wines with fruit grown in the family’s vineyards and nearly all of its Côte d’Or wines.The Faiveleys firmly believe that the quality of the wine comes first from the fruit. Faiveley keep yields to a mini- mum through the controlled use of organic fertiliser and strict pruning. The development of rootstocks suited to specific soil types together with a high average vine age in the Faiveley vineyards also contributes to low yields. The finished wines are classic Burgundies with wonderful longevity, aromatics and a unique, elegant style.The Faiveley family has now become the owner of the most prestigious appellations of Puligny-Montrachet including: Grand Cru: Bienvenues Bâtard-Montrachet and Bâtard-Montrachet; Premier Cru: Puligny-Montrachet ‘Les Referts’, ‘La Garenne’ and ‘Les Folatières’. They will serve to complete the range of Grands Crus and Pre- miers Crus from the domaine.
