Domaine Faiveley
Nuits-Saint-Georges Premier Cru Aux Chaignots
Situated on the northern Nuits-Saint-Georges hillside, this climat produces wines characterized by their delicate and elegant aromas. The name “Aux Chaignots” suggests the presence of an old oak forest known as a “chasne” in ancient French.
Plot: 0.73 ha. Planted mid-slope, the vines produce delicate, finely aromatic wines that combine virile masculinity with remarkable finesse.

Dark ruby red in color with red fruit aromas and roasted, smoky notes on the nose. The palate is rich and oily with good structure and a perfect balance between finesse and strength. The silky tannins give this wine a harmonious mouth-feel.

"At once bright and creamy, this has very silky tannins for this appellation. It glides over your palate, the wealth of berry aromas underlined by subtle forest-floor nuances. Great depth in the very harmonious finish. So delicious already. From organically grown grapes."
— Stuart Pigott, 2025
