A new direction for the Domaine Faiveley
Wednesday 27/09/2006
The Domaine Faiveley, owner of 120 hectares of vines from which more than 10 in Grand Cru in Burgundy, has just started a new episode of its history, under the aegis of Erwan Faiveley. Representative of the 7th generation, this epicurean man, age 25, will preside now at this domain fate.
He succeeds to his father François, who pursued a strict policy of quality. He lightly deviated from the winegrowing business to take care of its second activity, an important company of railway equipments. He kept an attentive and critic eye on the evolution of his winegrowing region. “We are players with only one card in hands: Pinot Noir. The other vineyards – like in Bordeaux – have three of four grape varieties!”
Erwan is a happy heir. Whereas his father, François is about to realize his dream – go round the world in sailboat –, his son will hold the quality level the domain always shown. Erwan is ambitious and dreams of pushing back the barriers of the domain, for instance the historical bastions: the Côtes-de-Nuits and Côte Châlonnaise…
A new direction for the Domaine Faiveley but without any change in management: the estate lovers can be reassured.
