Tasting Notes: Domaine Faiveley Bourgogne presents a bright ruby red color with youthful clarity, a vibrant expression of Pinot Noir at its most approachable. The nose is lifted and precise, offering aromas of red currants, delicate floral notes, and a touch of minerality that reflect its Burgundian origins. On the palate, it unfolds with red cherries, soft spices, and finely woven tannins, delivering a medium-bodied structure that balances elegance with substance. The finish is crisp and bright, leaving a refreshing impression that underscores its terroir-driven style. Overall, this wine embodies the hallmark qualities of Burgundy—freshness, finesse, and balance—while remaining accessible and charming.

Food Pairing: Domaine Faiveley Bourgogne Rouge is a versatile Pinot Noir that pairs beautifully with a range of dishes, its bright fruit and elegant structure enhancing both delicate and savory flavors. It is a natural match for roast chicken or duck, where its red cherry and spice notes complement the meat's succulence. The wine also harmonizes with charcuterie and soft cheeses such as Brie or Camembert, its freshness cutting through richness while highlighting creamy textures. For a more earthy pairing, mushroom risotto or pasta with herbs brings out the wine’s minerality and subtle floral tones. Finally, its crisp finish makes it an excellent partner for grilled salmon or tuna, offering a refined balance between the wine’s finesse and the depth of the fish.

The Domain: Founded in 1825, Bourgognes Faiveley has been handed down from father to son for over 175 years. As the sixth generation to take the reins, François Faiveley manages, with equal amounts passion and competence, the largest family domaine in Burgundy. Methodically reconstructing vineyards fractured by French inheritance laws, Bourgognes Faiveley today owns more appellations in their entirety (monopoles) than any other domaine in Burgundy.

"Faiveley’s wines are... supremely clean and elegant: definitive examples of Pinot Noir... above all they have richness and breed, the thumbprint of a master winemaker."
