The Estate

Founded in 1825 in Nuits-Saint-Georges by Pierre Faiveley, Domaine Faiveley is now run by siblings Erwan and Eve Faiveley, the seventh generation of the family, supported by technical director Jérôme Flous. With vineyards stretching from Chablis to the Côte Chalonnaise, including 12 Grands Crus and 22 Premiers Crus, among them the monopole Corton Clos des Cortons Faiveley, the estate has committed to organic viticulture on a large scale, certified in 2025 across 120 hectares in Burgundy.

The Vineyard

This Bourgogne Hautes-Côtes de Nuits comes from a selection of vineyards located in the heights of the Côte de Nuits, at a higher altitude than the classic slopes. The soils are predominantly limestone and clay-limestone, offering cooler conditions that favour later ripening of Pinot Noir, enhancing aromatic finesse and the freshness of the fruit.

Vinification and Ageing

The Bourgogne Hautes-Côtes de Nuits "Les Dames Huguettes" 2024 is crafted in keeping with the estate's philosophy, which favours an agronomic approach attentive to living systems, limiting interventions to allow the terroir of the Hautes-Côtes to express itself fully.
