Domaine Faiveley

Domaine Faiveley was founded in 1825 by Pierre Faiveley, a native of Nuits-St.-Georges. The Domaine passed to his nephew, Joseph in 1860, who bought Corton Clos des Corton, a grand cru "monopole" (single-owner) vineyard. His son, Francois succeeded him in 1889. During his management (1889-1919), the Domaine purchased parcels in Nuits-St-Georges-les-St-Georges, a premier cru, and grand cru parcels in the Clos Vougeot vineyards. Three generations followed. Francois Faiveley’s great grandson, also named Francois, ran the company 1976 to 2004, extending the family holdings in the Cote de Nuits, Montagny, and Mercurey. Today, Domaine Faiveley is managed by Erwan Faiveley, who took over in 2005 as president, and his sister Eve, who joined in 2014.
