Domaine Faiveley Gevrey Chambertin Les Marchais 2013
A beautiful deep black cherry colour. This wine hasa very fruity, powerful and pure nose. The attack is round and powerful on the palate. Very ripe fruity notes come through beautifully in this wine. The tannins are supple and pleasant, well mixed with delicate woody tastes, giving this wine all its body and elegance. Winemaker Notes

Terroir: The lieu dit “Les Marchais” sits south, as you exit the village of Gevrey Chambertin just across the road from Clos St Jacques and Lavaut St Jacques. Domaine Faiveley farms two parcels within the vineyard for a total of 2.68 acres of east/ southeast facing vines planted in soils of clay and limestone.
Vinification: Grapes are hand harvested and sorted upon arrival at the domaine. Following a 18-20 day maceration the must undergoes primary fermentation in a combination of stainless steel and wooden vats. The young wines are aged in 70% lightly toasted new oak barrels for 14 to 16 months.

Domaine Faiveley Gevrey Chambertin Les Marchais Description
Domaine Faiveley
One of the largest owners in Burgundy, with holdings spreading from the Côte de Nuits to the Côte Chalonnaise; polished, collectible reds and whites; exceptional high ratings.
In 1825, Pierre Faiveley founded the firm that now bears the name Domaine Faiveley. At that time, the firm was a classic négociant, buying and selling wine. But from generation to generation, with a strong commitment to the quality of Burgundy’s patrimony, the Faiveley family has purchased vineyards and is today among the largest owners of classified vineyards in the Côte de Nuits, Côte de Beaune and Côte Chalonnaise with holdings totaling 331 acres, of which 30 acres are grands crus and 67 acres are premiers crus.
On October 15, 2013, Domaine Faiveley reported it had acquired 50 acres of vines previously owned by Domaine Dupont-Tisserandot of Gevrey-Chambertin, including parts of the Grands Crus Charmes-Chambertin, Mazis-Chambertin and Le Rognet et Corton and Premiers Crus Lavaux St.-Jacques, Les Cazetiers and La Petite Chapelle.
Faiveley’s white wines are both silky and powerful. They bring together purity, tension and minerality. The red wines are the perfect illustration of a successful marriage of elegance, precision and concentration.
The objective of the family today, led by Erwan Faiveley, is to increase the firm’s holdings of great vineyards so that there can be complete control from vine to bottle across the entire range of wines. Along with this focus, Erwan Faiveley has renovated the Domaines cellars - in both Nuits-Saints-George and Mercurey - which now boast state of the art barrel presses, custom-designed wooden vats and among the finest, air-cured oak casks available in the world.
