Domaine Faiveley
Gevrey-Chambertin Vieilles Vignes
By royal ordinance from Louis-Philippe, the name “Chambertin” was added to the name of the village and it officially became “Gevrey-Chambertin” in 1847. Our parcel selection of old vines aged over 35 years old produces exceptionally intense and aromatic wine.
This 7.20-hectare plot, planted in 1945, 1950, 1951, 1956, 1962, 1967, and 1969, features clay marl soils rich in iron, with east and southeast exposure, and is cultivated using organic farming practices.

"Shows purity and finesse, setting the stage for cherry, strawberry, rose, mineral and spice flavors. This red is deftly balanced, with excellent length and the impression of approachability. Try to keep a bottle or two for five or 10 years. Best from 2027 through 2037. 2,900 cases made, 580 cases imported."
