The estate

Founded in 1825 in Nuits-Saint-Georges by Pierre Faiveley, Domaine Faiveley is now run by Erwan and Eve Faiveley, the seventh generation of the family at the helm of the house. This benchmark Burgundy estate extends over approximately 120 hectares, spread across the Côte de Nuits, the Côte de Beaune and the Côte Chalonnaise. Since 2025, its entire vineyard has been farmed organically, making Domaine Faiveley one of the largest certified estates in Burgundy.

The vineyard

The Mercurey Village "Clos Rochette" comes from a 5.45-hectare monopole plot, owned by the estate since 1933. Facing south-east, this climat rests on hard, compact clay-limestone soils scattered with small outcropping rocks, which gave the lieu-dit its name. The vineyard, planted over successive generations, is farmed organically.

Vinification and ageing

The Mercurey Village "Clos Rochette" Monopole 2024 is aged in oak barrels, which lend it its roundness and unctuous texture on the mid-palate, while preserving the freshness and aromatic precision of the wine.

Grape variety

This wine is made from Chardonnay, the emblematic grape variety of the white wines of the Mercurey appellation.
