Domaine Faiveley is a family adventure that has thrived for nearly two centuries, blending tradition with innovation in the heart of Burgundy. Since 1825, the Faiveley family has been driven by an entrepreneurial spirit, continuously reimagining what’s possible in the world of wine. Each generation, while deeply rooted in Burgundy’s terroirs, has also explored other paths (cobblers, doctors, lawyers, and engineers) bringing fresh ideas and perspectives to their winemaking legacy.

Pioneers at heart, the Faiveleys have never shied away from innovation. They were the first to introduce the manual sorting table and even invented the pantograph. Their foresight extended to the Côte Chalonnaise, where they invested in vineyards when few recognised the region’s potential. Most recently, their adventurous spirit led them to explore the Pinot Noir of California, proving once again that they aren’t afraid to venture beyond the familiar.

The family’s philosophy is simple: to push the boundaries of knowledge and creativity, while staying true to their heritage. In fact, it was Georges Faiveley, a lover of both wine and literature, who co-founded the Chevaliers du Tastevin Brotherhood during the wine crisis of the 1930s, believing that if no one would buy their wines, they should invite friends to share them instead.
