Description
The elegance and freshness of a great red wine from Burgundy
The estate
Established in Nuits-Saint-Georges since 1825, in the heart of the famous Côte de Nuits, the Faiveley family has embodied Burgundian excellence for seven generations. At the head of the estate since 2005, Erwan Faiveley, supported by his sister Eve, passionately perpetuates an exceptional viticultural heritage. With more than 120 hectares of vineyards, the Domaine Faiveley is among the largest and most renowned in Burgundy. It is particularly notable for the richness of its vineyard, which includes prestigious plots classified as Grands Crus and Premiers Crus.
The vineyard
Initially anchored in Nuits-Saint-Georges, Domaine Faiveley has expanded over the years its presence in Côte de Beaune and Côte Chalonnaise. Today, it oversees a remarkable viticultural heritage with 12 Grands Crus and 25 Premiers Crus, spread over the most beautiful appellations of Burgundy.
The wine
Produced from a tiny 0.81-acre plot planted in 1966 within the Grand Cru Chambertin-Clos de Bèze, the "Les Ouvrées Rodin" wine beautifully illustrates the finesse and depth of the great Burgundian terroirs. The old vines, rooted in soils rich in limestone scree, give birth to a cuvée of great complexity, where elegance rhymes with intensity.
A true tribute to the alliance of art and wine, this bottle takes its name from a family story: that of Marthe, Erwan Faiveley's great-grandmother, linked to Auguste Rodin's patron, Maurice Fenaille.
The grape variety
This Chambertin-Clos de Bèze Grand Cru "Les Ouvrées Rodin" 2020 from Domaine Faiveley is 100% Pinot Noir.
