More muscular and introverted than the expressive Bienvenues, Faiveley's 2021 Bâtard-Montrachet Grand Cru reveals aromas of pear, yellow apple, toasted nuts and white flowers, followed by a full-bodied, deep and layered palate that's tensile and structured.
Pale, clear yellow colour and an elegant yet powerful nose combining white and yellow fruits, white flowers (acacia and orange blossom) and freshly baked brioche. The palate is delicate yet distinctive and characterised by aromas of stewed fruits and candied lemon. The finish is fresh and lively with exceptional length.

Located in the heart of the Côte de Nuits, in Nuits-Saint-Georges, the Faiveley family has been making wine here since 1825. Following six generations before him, the domaine is today in the hands of Erwan Faiveley, who took over from his father in 2005. Since taking the reins, Erwan has invested heavily in the winery, including introducing new vinification and maturation methods, whilst remaining true to the values of those before him. He also built a spectacular new winery which was used for the first time in 2018.

 

With 120-hectares of vines on exceptional terroirs, including in 12 Grand Cru and 25 Premier Cru climats, these iconic wines are enjoyed in 80 countries around the world.

Interview with Eve Faiveley, Owner

What is Domaine Faiveley’s philosophy and style of winemaking?

Our family has gradually acquired 120 hectares of vineyards located in some of the most prestigious 'climats' of Burgundy. For the past seven generations, we have been committed to rigorous viticulture and precise vinification, in order to continue to build the reputation of our historical wine domaine and our unique family heritage. We strive for excellence, from our work in the vineyards right through to the bottling of our wines. Our desire is to enhance these outstanding Burgundian terroirs with a style that combines strength, finesse and elegance. The Domaine’s values and culture are summed up in the keywords: family spirit, tradition and modernity, innovation and investment, savoir-faire, prestige and quality.

The French Wine region of Burgundy (aka “Bourgogne”) may be small in size, but its influence is huge in the world of vino. The complexity of Burgundy can cast fear into the heart of even a seasoned wine pro, but fear not – the region need only be as complicated as you want it to be. Yes, it is home to some of the most expensive wines in the known universe, but there are also tasty and affordable wines.

Main grapes:

Pinot Noir originated in Burgundy and these vines cover 34% of the region, accounting for 29% of overall wine production. The red grape does extremely well in limestone and clay soil, which helps create their complexity. Pinot Noir wines from Burgundy range in colour from cherry to brick, are light in body, and typically have red fruit and spicy flavours. Gamay is a red grape also grown in Burgundy, but only makes up 10% of the vines.

Chardonnay is the primary grape for white wines in Burgundy, making up 48% of the vines and 68% of production. Chardonnay appreciates Burgundy’s marl soil, which gives it delicate floral, fruit, and mineral aromas and full-bodied flavours. Aligoté is the second white grape, accounting for 6% grown. {Read more about the ancient Aligoté grape in Burgundy.}

The region does produce a sparkling wine called Crémant de Bourgogne. It can be made from Chardonnay, Pinot Noir, Pinot Gris, Aligoté, Gamay, Sacy, and Melon. Varieties include blanc, blanc de blancs, blanc de noirs, and rosé.

Bâtard-Montrachet is a highly sought-after white wine produced in the Burgundy region of France. This wine is made from Chardonnay grapes grown in the vineyards surrounding the village of Puligny-Montrachet. The name Bâtard-Montrachet comes from the fact that the vineyards used to be owned by the Montrachet estate, but were later divided and sold off, resulting in the creation of several different vineyards, including Bâtard-Montrachet.

The history of Bâtard-Montrachet dates back to the Middle Ages, when the vineyards were first planted by monks. Over the centuries, the vineyards changed hands several times, and the wine became known for its exceptional quality. Today, Bâtard-Montrachet is considered one of the finest white wines in the world, and is highly prized by collectors and connoisseurs.

The style of production for Bâtard-Montrachet is very traditional, with the grapes being hand-harvested and carefully sorted before being pressed. The wine is then aged in oak barrels for up to 18 months, which gives it a rich, complex flavour and a deep golden colour. The wine is known for its intense aromas of honey, vanilla, and toasted almonds, as well as its full-bodied, creamy texture and long, lingering finish.

Bâtard-Montrachet is a wine that pairs well with a wide range of foods, including seafood, poultry, and creamy sauces. It is also a popular choice for special occasions, such as weddings and anniversaries, and is often given as a gift to mark important milestones.

Overall, Bâtard-Montrachet is a wine that embodies the rich history and tradition of the Burgundy region, and is a testament to the skill and dedication of the winemakers who produce it. Whether you are a seasoned wine connoisseur or a casual drinker, Bâtard-Montrachet is a wine that is sure to impress.
