List of products by brand DOMAINE FAIVELEY

Based in Nuits-Saint-Georges at the heart of the Côte-d'Or, Domaine Faiveley spans 127 hectares and encompasses 12 Grand Crus, making it one of the most extensive single estates in Burgundy. Founded in 1825 by Pierre Faiveley and led since 2005 by Erwan and Eve Faiveley, the estate works Pinot Noir and Chardonnay on east-facing slopes of limestone and clay-limestone soils, producing wines of consistent precision and fine structure. At Halles Quercamps, we have selected this estate for the coherence of its vineyard holdings, the rigour of its élevage, and its achievement of organic certification in 2025 — the year of its bicentenary. A Burgundy reference we are genuinely proud to list.

Founded in 1825 in Nuits-Saint-Georges, Domaine Faiveley represents two centuries of Burgundian viticulture across 127 hectares, encompassing some of the most celebrated appellations of the Côte-d'Or. Pinot Noir and Chardonnay find here a particularly accomplished expression, shaped by limestone and clay soils on east-facing slopes.

Two centuries of Burgundian history

Domaine Faiveley was established by Pierre Faiveley in 1825, at a time when the great vineyard map of Burgundy was still taking shape. Nearly two centuries of unbroken family ownership have allowed the estate to assemble one of the most coherent and extensive portfolios in the region — 127 hectares spread across the finest appellations of the Côte-d'Or, including no fewer than 12 Grand Crus. In 2005, Erwan and Eve Faiveley assumed stewardship of the estate, bringing renewed energy and a clear commitment to quality and sustainability. Their tenure has been marked by a gradual but determined shift towards more respectful viticulture, culminating in the award of organic certification in 2025 — a milestone that coincided, fittingly, with the estate's bicentenary. To mark the occasion, Domaine Faiveley organised a Christie's auction in aid of the Fondation du Patrimoine, underscoring a sense of responsibility that extends well beyond the vineyard.

Terroir: limestone, marl and east-facing slopes

The vineyards of Nuits-Saint-Georges and the surrounding Côte-d'Or appellations sit on a mosaic of limestone, marl and clay-limestone soils, the geological foundation that gives Burgundy its singular capacity for terroir expression. The east-facing aspect ensures a long, measured ripening season, preserving the natural acidity and aromatic finesse that define the finest wines of the appellation. Pinot Noir thrives on these well-drained, mineral-rich soils, producing wines of structure and elegance; Chardonnay, planted on the richer clay-limestone parcels, delivers wines of texture and precision.

Organic certification and winemaking philosophy

The achievement of organic certification (Agriculture Biologique) in 2025, alongside HVE (Haute Valeur Environnementale) accreditation, reflects a long-standing commitment rather than a recent conversion. Erwan and Eve Faiveley have progressively reduced intervention in both vineyard and cellar, allowing the character of each appellation and each parcel to express itself with greater clarity. The élevage is conducted with the same rigour that has defined the estate across generations.

The wine range at Domaine Faiveley

Across its 127 hectares, the estate produces wines in two colours, drawing on the complementary strengths of its Côte-d'Or terroirs:

Red wines (Pinot Noir) — from village Nuits-Saint-Georges to Premier and Grand Cru level; wines of structure, depth and ageing potential, with the mineral backbone characteristic of the appellation.
White wines (Chardonnay) — expressive and precise, reflecting the limestone and clay-limestone soils of the Côte-d'Or; suited both to early drinking and to patient cellaring.

With 12 Grand Crus in its portfolio, Domaine Faiveley offers a remarkable breadth of Burgundy's finest appellations within a single, coherent estate.

Why we have selected Domaine Faiveley

At Halles Quercamps, we have listed Domaine Faiveley for three reasons that matter to us as a family merchant. First, the sheer coherence of the vineyard: 127 hectares and 12 Grand Crus under a single family's stewardship is a rarity in Burgundy, and it shows in the consistency of the wines across the range. Second, the rigour of the élevage: these are wines made with patience and without shortcuts, and they reward the cellar as much as the table. Third, the commitment to organic farming, formalised in 2025 after years of progressive work — a genuine milestone, not a marketing exercise.

We recommend these wines to confirmed Burgundy enthusiasts building a serious cellar, and to those seeking a considered gift for a wine-loving friend. At the table, the Pinot Noirs are superb with roast guinea fowl, braised beef or a well-aged Époisses; the Chardonnays pair beautifully with grilled turbot or a fine terrine.
