Description
What kind of wine it is
Faiveley Bourgogne Pinot Noir from the Faiveley winery is a still red wine made from Pinot Noir grapes, produced in Burgundy under the Bourgogne designation using methods that preserve the integrity of the fruit. In the glass, it reveals an intense ruby red colour and an aromatic profile of red berries and sweet spices. On the palate, it is crisp, broad and mineral, supported by a marked freshness and refined tannins that lead to a fresh finish of concentrated black fruits. This classic style enhances pairings with veal, poultry and mature cheeses.

It was only in Louis 14th's reign that Burgundy wines were to experience greater fame, from the moment when those high up in the King's court and foreign ambassadors in Paris started to take an interest.
It was in this climate that Pierre Faiveley founded the business in 1825.
Georges Faiveley, a captain in the Great War, and a Verdun war hero, was without a doubt the artisan of the domain and the most hard-working promoter of Burgundy wines.
When the great depression of 1929 crossed the Atlantic, the whole of Burgundy was in despair; the cellars were full, but the wines found no buyers. The oak barrels cost more than the wine in them.
Guy Faiveley, a brilliant intellectual who had a collection of diplomas (HEC, Sciences-Po, Doctor of Law,…) had the difficult job of succeeding his very colourful father. Yet, with his impetus, the domain doubled in size.
François Faiveley took over the domain at the age of 25. He was able to give it a new boost – using a precursor of the sorting table and carrying out cold macerations for example.
At the same age as his father, Erwan Faiveley took over the domain in 2007, becoming the seventh generation. On his arrival, he renewed and reinforced his team and invested in the winery and the vineyards.
