Domaine Faiveley
Gevrey-Chambertin Premier Cru Lavaux Saint-Jacques
This parcel is situated in the northern part of the village just before the valley. This climat’s name is derived from “La Val”, the term used in the Middle Ages to refer to a low point in the land, a topographic rift. Along with “Les Cazetiers” and “Clos Saint-Jacques”, this climat is considered to be one of the 3 best Premiers Crus in Gevrey. The Domaine purchased this parcel in late 2013.

Deep ruby red color with an attractive nose offering intense aromas of small black fruits. A powerful, warm, and concentrated wine with exceptional aromatic intensity with elegant tannins, and a touch of leather that lingers on the finish.

“The 2022 Gevrey-Chambertin 1er Cru Lavaux Saint-Jacques is another notable success this year, wafting from the glass with aromas of wild berries, peonies, orange zest and sweet spices. Medium to full-bodied, layered and perfumed, its satiny attack segueing into a sweet core of fruit, it concludes with a long, saline finish.”
