DOMAINE FAIVELEY Echezeaux Grand Cru

"Sourced from a single parcel in the lieu dit of En Orveaux, this is a smart wine that's given the appropriate amount of new oak (70%). It's very vivid, almost energetic, with plush, yet focused flavours of Asian spices, fresh raspberries, redcurrants and pomegranate-like acidity. 2016-25 " January 2013

"Good bright, medium red. Red cherry, redcurrant, smoke and white pepper on the nose, complemented by mellow oak tones. Rich, dense and silky, with a dominant flavor of sweet raspberry. Really opens out on the back half, then grips the palate on the very long finish, which features a note of bitter orange zest. This wine began with the lowest potential alcohol of all of Faiveley's grand cru holdings in 2011 (it was 11.8%, chaptalized to 12.6%), and will rely as much on its acidity as on its tannins for aging."  January 2013

"An intensely floral nose is notably ripe with notes of plum, spice, black raspberry and cassis in evidence. There is a seductive texture to the solidly well-concentrated medium weight plus flavors that benefit from plenty of structure-buffering dry extract such that this seems more forward than it really is. The tannins are dense but fine and this should significantly reward 12 to 15 years of cellaring "  March 2013

About Domaine Faiveley
Faiveley Family
Faiveley Family

Founded in 1825, Domaine Faiveley is in a rare position in Burgundy of being a major vineyard owner with more than 120 hectares and 80% of their wines coming from family owned vineyards.

 

In December 2004, there was a change of the guard when Francois Faiveley stepped down and handed the reins of the company over to his son, Erwan. In a span of 8 years, Erwan has made some important changes in viticulture, vinification and maturation of the wines.

 

Historically based in the Côte de Nuits capital, the Faiveley family has progressively extended its domaine and today owns vineyards in the finest climats in Burgundy - Gevrey-Chambertin, Pommard, Volnay, Puligny-Montrachet, Mercurey and others. The vineyards are very small, averaging 1 hectare per appellation.

 

Faiveley produces from more than 10 hectares of Grand Crus and nearly 25 hectares of Premier Crus, including several plots that are exclusively owned by the family.
