Domaine Faiveley
Burgundy · Nuits-Saint-Georges
- Les Porêts Saint-Georges, the first family vineyard: Acquired in the 1870s, Les Porêts Saint-Georges was the Faiveleys’ first vineyard purchase. This Nuits-Saint-Georges Premier Cru combines dark fruit with smoky and oaky touches; its fleshy palate builds in power and structure.
- Clos des Cortons Faiveley, a separate grand cru: At Corton, Clos des Cortons Faiveley is the family’s emblematic red grand cru monopole, entirely under their ownership. A dispute in the 1930s led to the addition of the family name to avoid confusion. This wholly owned Corton clos is distinct from Les Porêts Saint-Georges, the founding purchase in Nuits-Saint-Georges.
