Domaine Faiveley
Domaine Faiveley is one of Burgundy’s leading family-owned domaines, based in Nuits-Saint-Georges and rooted in the region since 1825. Now led by seventh-generation siblings Erwan and Eve Faiveley, the domaine is known for precise, age-worthy Pinot Noir and Chardonnay from the Côte de Nuits, Côte de Beaune and Côte Chalonnaise, with an exceptional collection of Grand Cru, Premier Cru and monopole vineyard holdings.

Faiveley Ladoix Blanc 2022 comes from Ladoix-Serrigny, one of the C?te de Beaune?s oldest wine villages, with records of the Lords of Ladoix dating back to the 13th century. Domaine Faiveley has owned this plot for many years. Initially planted with Pinot Noir and a small parcel of Chardonnay, the site was identified by J?r?me and Erwan Faiveley as better suited to white wine and was replanted in 2007. The north-east-facing vineyard covers 3.02 hectares on marly limestone, clay and ferruginous oolite soils.
Vinification
The grapes are harvested and sorted by hand. The musts are extracted using a pneumatic press before settling. Vinification lasts four weeks and takes place mainly in French oak barrels, less than one-third of which are new, in cellars with consistent natural temperature and humidity. The wine is aged in barrel for 12 months with regular stirring to keep the lees in contact with the wine.
Tasting Note
Pale yellow in colour, with greenish glimmers. The nose shows fresh floral aromas with a touch of brioche. The palate is rich and powerful, combining toasty notes with pleasant freshness and clear Chardonnay energy. Medium-bodied and lively, it has a direct, focused structure with good tension. The finish is fresh, persistent and balanced, with floral, brioche and light toast notes lingering clearly.
Food Pairing
Pair with seafood platters, trout with almonds, goats? cheese, roast chicken, grilled prawns, vegetable tart, shellfish pasta or white fish in light sauce.
