Domaine Faiveley
Faiveley, Chambolle-Musigny Premier Cru Aux Beaux Bruns
The name “Beaux Bruns” might derive from a regional transcription of “Ebaupin”, a term for hawthorn, a shrub with fragrant flowers commonly found in the lively hedges and thorny thickets of the Burgundy vineyard.
Domaine Faiveley is responsible for all the work carried out in this vineyard and can therefore have total control over the quality of the grapes, as in the plots it owns. This vineyard, located north of the village just below “Les Groseilles”, is defined by its distinctive chalky marl soil—deeper and slightly richer in clay and limestone than elsewhere in Chambolle-Musigny, with rocky, loose topsoils—imparting notable power and concentration to the wines.

Bright garnet red color with purple highlights. The nose is particularly expressive and reveals complex aromas of ripe fruit and spices, roasted and smoked notes. On the palate, this wine is very fine and elegant with hints of berries (blackberry), spices, and discreet wooden aromas. Its length is remarkable.
