This is your chance to start a Burgundy cellar, or preserve one for years to come. Background on Faiveley
In Burgundy, tradition runs deep, but even the most storied domaines must evolve to endure. At Faiveley, change arrived with the seventh generation—siblings Erwan and Eve—who took over in 2007 and brought a thoughtful modernization to the estate. While Faiveley has long been known for structured, age-worthy wines, the new era has introduced a more approachable style without sacrificing the house’s hallmark elegance and longevity.
Subtle refinements in the cellar—softer tannins, more expressive aromatics, and a gentler vinification process—have made the wines more accessible in their youth. Village and Premier Cru wines now show beautifully with minimal aging, while Grand Crus retain their power and depth. Investments in the Mercurey winery and a move toward organic farming have further raised quality across the range.
Often mistaken for a négociant, Faiveley’s estate-grown wines dominate production, including iconic holdings like Clos des Cortons Faiveley. With over ten hectares of Grand Cru vineyards, the domaine is one of Burgundy’s most important landowners.
Faiveley today bridges past and present—offering wines that reward both patience and impulse, making them a smart choice for collectors at every stage

Neal Martin-Vinous 89 points “The 2021 Mercurey Framboisière has a pretty, airy, redcurrant and raspberry-scented bouquet. The palate is medium-bodied with supple red fruit, orange rind and a touch of allspice. Good, solid, fresh finish, rustic in a good way. (Drink between 2023-2033)” 16/20 Jancis Robinson “Drink 2024-2029.” Faiveley Mercurey Vieilles Vignes, Côte Chalonnaise 2020 750ml Displayed Price: $39, that’s $37.05 at 5% off and $35.10 at 10% off, 6 bottles in stock now
Wine Spectator “A linear, vibrant red, boasting blackberry, black currant and loam flavors. This is defined by vivid acidity as much as the light dusting of tannins, with fine balance and grip. Drink now through 2032.” Faiveley Mercurey Vieilles Vignes, Côte Chalonnaise 2021 750ml Displayed Price: $44.50, that’s $42.28 at 5% off and $40.05 at 10% off, 6 bottles in stock now
Producer note “Our ‘vieilles vignes’ (old vines) are over thirty years old and produce an exceptionally aromatic wine that offers a true reflection of its Mercurey terroirs. The palate reveals a smooth, fruity attack and evolves towards notes of ripe red berries and a touch of vanilla. An intensely aromatic wine with a delicate structure and silky smooth tannins that will win over wine experts and amateurs alike.” Faiveley Clos du Roy, Mercurey Premier Cru, Côte Chalonnaise 2021 750ml Displayed Price: $69, that’s $65.55 at 5% off and $62.10 at 10% off, 2 bottles in stock now
16.5/20 Jancis Robinson “Drink 2024-2030.” Importer note “This small parcel, known as a ‘clos’, formerly belonged to the Kings of France. It was considered one of the appellation’s best parcels and was purchased by the Faiveley family in 1971. This wine could be compared to a Côte de Nuits village in terms of its delicate tannins and length on the palate. Tasting Notes: The nose exudes small red fruits combined with notes of oak and spice. The palate offers good balance, rich aromas, and delicate tannins resulting in a very distinctive wine with exceptional aromatic persistence.” Chambolle-MusignyFaiveley Aux Beaux Bruns, Chambolle-Musigny Premier Cru 2019 750ml Displayed Price: $179, that’s $170.05 at 5% off and $161.10 at 10% off, 15 bottles in stock now
James Suckling 94 points “An unusually firm and structured wine that breaks the mold for this village, usually associated with finesse and delicacy. Deep forest-berry aromas, but also savory and earthy notes. Imposing body that’s brimming with healthy tannins. Bright, mineral finish with excellent complexity.” Faiveley Les Charmes, Chambolle-Musigny Premier Cru 2019 750ml Displayed Price: $199, that’s $189.05 at 5% off and $179.10 at 10% off, 1 bottles in stock now
Wine Spectator 95 points “A ripe red, with macerated cherry, black currant, sandalwood, vanilla and stone flavors carried by a vibrant structure. Linear and fused to finely grained tannins as it lingers on the spice- and mineral-tinged finish. Fine energy here” James Suckling 95 points “The name says it all! Here is the charming and filigree pinot noir the world expects from Chambolle-Musigny. Very fine tannins and excellent concentration are married to lively acidity that make this dance on your palate. The long, delicate finish doesn’t want to let go”.
Gevrey-ChambertinFaiveley Les Cazetiers, Gevrey-Chambertin Premier Cru 2015 750ml Displayed Price: $189, that’s $179.55 at 5% off and $170.10 at 10% off, 3 bottles in stock
Wine Enthusiast 93 points “The tannins in this wine are firm and still prominent, giving both richness and aging potential. The fruit is full, weighty, packed with dark tannins and with firm concentration. This a dark, firm wine needs to age. Drink from 2024.” 17/20 Jancis Robinson “Drink 2024-2040.” Faiveley Mazis-Chambertin Grand Cru 2019 750ml Displayed Price: $419, that’s $398.05 at 5% off and $377.10 at 10% off, 4 bottles in stock now
William Kelley-Wine Advocate 93-95+ points “Wild and brooding, Faiveley’s 2019 Mazis-Chambertin Grand Cru wafts from the glass with aromas of smoked meats, spices, wild berries and forest floor. Full-bodied, layered and sapid, it’s broad and muscular, with a deep core of fruit and youthfully chalky tannins. This is a serious Mazis built for the long haul.” Neal Martin-Vinous 93-95 points “The 2019 Mazis-Chambertin Grand Cru was reduced on the nose, making it difficult to read at the moment, though the palate is certainly well balanced, featuring crunchy black fruit laced with red currant and a generous sprinkling of cracked black pepper toward the finish. Intuition tells me this is a great Mazis-Chambertin; it will just need time.”
Nuits-Saint-Georges Faiveley Les Damodes, Nuits-Saint-Georges Premier Cru 2019 750ml Displayed Price: $119, that’s $113.05 at 5% off and $107.10 at 10% off, 14 bottles in stock now
William Kelley-Wine Advocate 92-94 points “Aromas of cassis, plums, orange rind and spicy new oak preface Faiveley’s 2019 Nuits-Saint-Georges 1er Cru Les Damodes, a medium to full-bodied, deep and lively wine with a concentrated core of fruit, framed by powdery tannins. Concluding with a long, mineral finish, it’s another fine bottling from this cool, high-altitude and northeast-exposed site.”
Faiveley Les Porets-Saint-Georges, Nuits-Saint-Georges Premier Cru 2013 750ml Displayed Price: $99, that’s $94.05 at 5% off and $89.10 at 10% off, 2 bottles in stock now
James Suckling 91 points “Pretty dark fruits such as blackberry and blueberry with hints of spice. Full body, tight center palate, and fine tannins. Better in a year or two, but very delicate, firm and delicious.” Wine Spectator 90 points “A pure, elegant style, featuring raspberry, wild strawberry, rose and mineral aromas and flavors. Firm, with a tightly knit matrix for support. Fine length. Best from 2018 through 2030. 118 cases imported.”
Faiveley Les Porets-Saint-Georges, Nuits-Saint-Georges Premier Cru 2019 750ml Displayed Price: $119, that’s $113.05 at 5% off and $107.10 at 10% off, 12 bottles in stock now
Wine Spectator 92 points “Aromas of spearmint and cinnamon accent the core flavors of black cherry and blackberry in this firm red, which is more linear on the finish, where dark fruit mingles with oak spice and mineral elements” Faiveley Les Pruliers, Nuits-Saint-Georges Premier Cru 2019 750ml Displayed Price: $99, that’s $94.05 at 5% off and $89.10 at 10% off, 8 bottles in stock now
Wine Spectator 92 points “Aromas of spearmint and cinnamon accent the core flavors of black cherry and blackberry in this firm red, which is more linear on the finish, where dark fruit mingles with oak spice and mineral elements. The tannins are a touch dry in the end. Best from 2025 through 2040.” Faiveley Les Saint-Georges, Nuits-Saint-Georges Premier Cru 2016 750ml Displayed Price: $199, that’s $189.05 at 5% off and $179.10 at 10% off, 1 bottles in stock nowJames Suckling 93-94 points “A deep and complex wine that makes this site often referred to be the best of Nuits St. Georges. A potential Grand Cru. The dense structure and impressive tannins extend through the long, velvet finish. You can drink this now for the generous blue fruits, but if you want all the minerality give it five, ten or more years of aging.” Stephen Tanzer 92-95 points “Bright red with ruby tones. Very pure, youthfully medicinal aromas of black raspberry, violet and menthol. Wonderfully rich and subtly sweet, offering grand cru volume and depth to its flavors of red and darker berries, licorice, spices and minerals. This utterly suave wine boasts a rare combination of ripeness and coolness. The youthfully medicinal finish mounts slowly, with saline soil and mineral tones emerging as the wine opens in the glass. Splendid potential.” Burghound 91-94 points “A broad-ranging nose features notes of red and dark raspberry, cherry, lavender, earth and a suggestion of the sauvage, all of which is trimmed in just enough wood to notice. There is excellent delineation and vibrancy to the overtly powerful medium weight plus flavors that also possess obvious muscle before concluding in a saline and lightly austere finish. This is quite firmly structured and will need plenty of time to reach its full apogee. In a word, excellent. (91-94)/2031+.” Faiveley Les Saint-Georges, Nuits-Saint-Georges Premier Cru 2019 1.5L Displayed Price: $419, that’s $398.05 at 5% off and $377.10 at 10% off, 1 magnums in stock now
Neal Martin-Vinous 93-95 points “The 2019 Nuits Saint-Georges Les Saint-Georges 1er Cru is an equal blend from Faiveley’s own vines and contract growers, plus a barrel from the Hospices de Nuits. It has a very perfumed and floral bouquet of red berry fruit complemented by wilted violets and potpourri. The medium-bodied palate offers crunchy red berry fruit laced with balsamic. Quite energetic and well defined toward the harmonious finish, which leaves a tang of white pepper on the aftertaste. This is a superb Les Saint-Georges.” William Kelley-Wine Advocate 92-94+ points “A mixture of domaine and purchased grapes that are vinified together, Faiveley’s 2019 Nuits-Saint-Georges 1er Cru Les Saint-Georges wafts from the glass with notes of sweet berries, plums, espresso roast, dark chocolate and spices. Medium to full-bodied, layered and gourmand, it’s sumptuous and charming, with lively acids and a ripe, enveloping core of fruit.”
Pommard Faiveley Les Rugiens, Pommard Premier Cru 2019 750ml Displayed Price: $135, that’s $128.25 at 5% off and $121.50 at 10% off, 4 bottles in stock nowNo reviews for the 2019 vintage. 2018 provided for reference.Wine Spectator 92 points “A polished style, this red delivers cherry, iron, tobacco and spice flavors. A solid line of tannins lends support as it tightens up on the long finish. Best from 2024 through 2038.” VolnayFaiveley Fremiets, Volnay Premier Cru 2019 750ml Displayed Price: $99, that’s $94.05 at 5% off and $89.10 at 10% off, 7 bottles in stock now
James Suckling 93 points “Perhaps this warm and generous wine, with a pronounced rooty character, is not the most charming Volnay out there, but it has very good depth and excellent harmony, thanks to the fine tannins. The generous finish pulls you back for more. Drink or hold.”
Faiveley Volnay-Santenots, Volnay Premier Cru 2019 750ml Displayed Price: $119, that’s $113.05 at 5% off and $107.10 at 10% off, 4 bottles in stock nowNo reviews for the 2019 vintage. 2018 provided for reference.Wine Spectator 93 points “Dark and concentrated, displaying blackberry, black cherry, tar and charred oak flavors. Feels rustic yet there is a solid core of fruit that emerges on the finish, along with a sweetness. Best from 2023 through 2038.” Vosne RomaneeFaiveley Vosne Romanee 2020 750ml Displayed Price: $89, that’s $84.55 at 5% off and $80.10 at 10% off, 8 bottles in stock nowWine Spectator 92 points “A luscious, fruity style, offering black currant, black cherry, wet earth, vanilla and mineral notes. Dense, showing some grip on the extended finish. Overall, this is polished and harmonious. Drink now through 2033.”
