Faiveley is a centuries-old House and one of the greatest icons in Burgundy. Erwan Faiveley has taken the reins and brought this phenomenon to its highest level. The small parcels of land and the most beautiful hillsides of the Côte d'Or constitute an invaluable heritage that the House makes a point of exploring in all its dimensions. 

Whatever the appellation, Faiveley is always a master of its art, sacrificing nothing in terms of quality or style to produce straightforward, refined wines of supreme elegance.
