About Joseph Faiveley
Domaine Faiveley is one of the biggest domaines (115ha) in Burgundy. This illustrious company has been based in Nuits St Georges since the days of Pierre Faiveley who founded the business in 1825. His son Joseph gave his name to the family business, to be followed by the first Fran ois, Georges who was instrumental in founding the Chevaliers du Tastevin, Guy who developed the business in the C te Chalonnaise, Fran ois who has recently retired, and now his son Erwan, born in 1979. Already there has been a notable expansion of vineyards under Faiveley s control purchase of Domaine Annick Parent (Pommard, Volnay and Month lie), Domaine Monnot (various Puligny-Montrachet vineyards including grand crus Bienvenues-B tard-Montrachet and B tard-Montrachet) and the contract to farm the vineyards of Domaine Matrot-Wittersheim in Meursault and Blagny. Between them, these initiatives greatly expand Faiveley s presence in the C te de Beaune, thus also increasing the proportion of white wines in what they have to offer. There are several separate viticultural teams to cover the ground, ensuring that all the vineyards are ploughed, the vines are pruned short and debudded meticulously. The grapes are entirely destemmed and fermented in new wooden vats for the finer wines, conical stainless-steel tanks for the lesser cuv es. Both premier and grand cru wines may receive two-thirds of new wood. Old style Faiveley wines could be massively tannic at the expense of the fruit. From 2007 the wines are much fresher and fruitier, yet still with real intensity. Many of Faiveley's top wines are hand bottled with no filtration.
