Tasting

Colour
The colour is adorned with a deep ruby.

Nose
Intense and complex, the nose reveals subtle notes of red fruits that then mingle with slightly toasted roasting notes.

The property

Historically established since 1825 in Nuits-Saint-Georges in the heart of the Côte de Nuits, the Faiveley Family is at the head of one of the most beautiful estates in Burgundy. Since 2005, the seventh generation of the family has ensured the continuity of the Burgundian gem, embodied by two great enthusiasts: Erwan Faiveley and his sister, Eve Faiveley. With a vineyard of over 120 hectares, the estate is one of the largest in Burgundy but also one of the most prestigious. At the head of plots of Grands Crus and exceptional Premiers Crus, the Faiveley Family benefits from a remarkable viticultural heritage.

The vineyard

If Domaine Faiveley was historically established in Côtes de Nuits at Nuits-Saint-Georges, the house has gradually extended its vineyard in Côte de Beaune and Côte Chalonnaise. Domaine Faiveley now owns 12 Grands Crus and 25 Premiers Crus in Burgundy and oversees an exceptional viticultural heritage.

The Premier Cru Les Cazetiers from Domaine Faiveley is a Gevrey-Chambertin wine made from a 2.04 hectare plot composed of old vines planted in 1958, 1989, 1990 and 1999.

Vinification and ageing

The manually harvested grapes undergo a short pre-fermentation maceration before vinification in conical wooden vats. Maceration for more than 3 weeks followed by pressing to obtain juices of great purity. Ageing from 16 to 18 months within the historic cellars of the estate: vaulted cellars dating from the 19th century.
