Domaines Faiveley are one of Burgundy`s largest and arguably finest estates with many plots located in the finest sites of both the Cotes de Nuits and Cotes de Beaune. However just to the south in the Chalonnaise region they undoubtably hold court. Since the Domaine was founded in 1825, the Faiveley family has dedicated the major part of its resources to buying vineyards on the best slopes. Today they are the largest owners of vineyards in Burgundy, with about 120 hectares. Their philosophy is that great wine comes from top quality fruit and therefore yields are limited and production controlled.
