Domaine Faiveley is one of the largest vineyard owners in Burgundy with over 300 acres of vines. They were established in 1825 and remains in the Faiveley family to this day. Erwan Faiveley (born 1979) is currently in charge, along with his sister Eve.

The chief winemaker since 2007 is Jerome Flous, who has helped modernise the Faiveley wines, reducing the tannins and focusing the wine more on the fruit.

We’ve chosen Faiveley as a great example of the Burgundian style, as they produce incredible bottles costing thousands of dollars but also everyday drinking wines.

Here’s a fantastic video of Erwan explaining wine from Burgundy, and why its different from the ‘New World’ wines, plus a bit of the Domaine’s history.

Product Details

Description

Simpsons describe this wine as their Great British Classic Method Rosé. It is the epitome of English taste and luxury and is created from exclusively estate-grown Pinot Noir grapes hand-picked from our vineyards situated on the iconic chalk slopes of the North Downs of Kent.

Harvesting & Vinification: Pinot Noir grapes from our Roman Road vineyard site were carefully hand-picked and gently whole-bunch pressed in an Inertys, oxygen-free pneumatic press to preserve and protect the pure, primary red fruit flavours and aromatics. The juice was then cold settled in temperature controlled stainless steel tanks prior to primary fermentation. The wine progressed through full malolactic fermentation and then rested in tank prior to tirage in spring 2020.

Secondary Fermentation & Ageing: After the secondary fermentation in the bottle the wine then aged on its lees for fifteen months prior to disgorgement and then a further four months under cork prior to release in November 2021.

Tasting

This wine is delicately pink, with a very fine bead. It has a soft rose petal and fresh strawberry sorbet nose, illustrating finesse and balance. On the palate there are crisp, wild berry flavours balanced with hints of almond and rose, ending with a clean, complex finish.

Food Pairings

Pairs with bacon sandwichs, gammon steaks, pheasant.

Ageing

Cellaring Potential: Will drink well through to 2024, and potentially beyond if its cellared correctly.
