Domaine Faiveley

Burgundy · Nuits-Saint-Georges

  • Les Porêts Saint-Georges, the first family vineyard: Acquired in the 1870s, Les Porêts Saint-Georges was the Faiveleys’ first vineyard purchase. This Nuits-Saint-Georges Premier Cru combines dark fruit with smoky and oaky touches; its fleshy palate builds in power and structure.
  • Clos des Cortons Faiveley, a separate grand cru: At Corton, Clos des Cortons Faiveley is the family’s emblematic red grand cru monopole, entirely under their ownership. A dispute in the 1930s led to the addition of the family name to avoid confusion. This wholly owned Corton clos is distinct from Les Porêts Saint-Georges, the founding purchase in Nuits-Saint-Georges.

Domaine Georges Mugneret-Gibourg

Burgundy · Vosne-Romanée

  • Gentle vinification for pinot noir: Mugneret-Gibourg describes its aim as preserving pinot noir’s fruit, freshness and finesse so that each terroir remains legible. Grapes are hand-picked, sorted and fully destemmed, followed by four to five days of cold maceration. The wines mature for eighteen months in oak and are bottled without fining or filtration.
  • Vosne-Romanée from several village parcels: The village Vosne-Romanée combines clay-limestone parcels including Les Chalandins, La Colombière and Les Croix Blanches. Blackberry, blueberry and mocha lead into a generous palate of cherry, strawberry and forest floor. The estate suggests enjoying its fruit young or keeping it for up to about ten years, with grilled or roast red meat.
  • The family keeps the vineyards together: After Georges Mugneret, ophthalmologist and grower, died in 1988, Marie-Christine left pharmacy to run the estate with her mother Jacqueline. Marie-Andrée joined after studying oenology, continuing the family’s work in Vosne-Romanée.
