2020 Domaine Faiveley Gevrey-Chambertin Clos des Issarts Premier Cru

Domaine Faiveley was founded in 1825, and while they have been known for producing outstanding quality wines throughout this time, they are widely considered one of the most improved domaines in Burgundy over the last decade. Since taking over from his father Francois, Erwan Faiveley has made a deliberate decision to emphasise freshness and purity of fruit rather than fruit extraction, and at times, excessive use of new oak. This change has resulted in wines with greater refinement and vineyard character expression.

This Monopole climat is situated in the south-west of the village and was purchased by the domaine in 2003 following a 50 year leasing agreement. It is the smallest appellation in Bourgogne, even smaller than Romanée Conti Grand Cru.
