About this winery

Founded in 1825, Domaine Faiveley is one of Burgundy's greatest domaines. Originally the company was a classic negotiant business, based in Nuits St. Georges and engaged in the buying and selling of wine but not the production of it. After seven generations of steadily acquiring properties throughout the Cotes de Nuits, the Cotes de Beaune, Cotes Chalonnaise and now Chablis, the Faiveley family have established themselves as the most important vineyard owners in Burgundy, with 125 hectares of...

May 2022 (Vintage 2021)

This wine features an amazingly silky texture yet impressive density. There is abundant ripe pomegranate, currant fruit, and notes of rose petals and spice. The complexity and length on the palate ensure that this is among the vintage's top wines. It is produced from two small plots that total 0.13 hectares. The grapes are partly destemmed and fermented directly in the same cask in which the wine will age. Faiveley Musigny is a reference for the appellation and among their greatest reds.

November 2022 (Vintage 2021)

The 2021 Musigny Grand Cru has a quite bewitching nose with pixelated red berry fruit, crushed limestone, freshly picked rose petals and the sense of whole bunches that is not immediately discernible but you can tell its guiding the background. The palate is harmonious and exquisitely balanced, perfect acidity, in some ways classic in style but there is enormous length and grace befitting this vineyard. Outstanding.

July 2023 (Vintage 2021)

Moderate wood surrounds the ripe, fresh and exotic aromas of plum, black cherry, sandalwood and jasmine tea. The sleek, concentrated and powerful larger scaled flavors exhibit excellent drive on the refined and hugely long finish where the wood reappears. This is an imposing wine in the context of the 2021 vintage and even though it is on the oaky side today, there is sufficient density to progressively integrate it over time..

January 2023 (Vintage 2021)

There are the equivalent of some 400 bottles of the brilliant 2021 Musigny Grand Cru, a full-bodied, layered and seamless wine evocative of rose petals, exotic spices, sweet red berries, candied peel and peonies. Concentrated, supple and sensual, with a rich core of cool, perfumed fruit, it's a special wine in the making.
