Producer & Terroir
Founded in 1825 in Nuits-Saint-Georges, Domaine Faiveley brings generations of Burgundian experience to this distinctive Beaune Premier Cru. Erwan Faiveley and winemaker Jérôme Flous combine traditional craftsmanship with precise vineyard management, emphasizing purity and vineyard character.
Acquired by François Faiveley in 2003, Clos de l'Écu is a 2.37-hectare monopole, entirely owned by the domaine. Its south-facing slopes and well-drained, gravelly and stony soils contain relatively little clay. These warm, early-ripening conditions have earned the vineyard the affectionate nickname "Côte-Rôtie" within the estate.
Winemaker Description
An exceptional expression of Premier Cru Burgundy from an exclusive, family-owned vineyard, Domaine Faiveley Beaune 1er Cru Clos de l'Écu Monopole 2024 combines richness, precision and remarkable elegance.
Deep ruby-red in color, this beautifully crafted Pinot Noir reveals captivating aromas of ripe cherries, raspberries and blackberries, accented by delicate spice and a refreshing hint of mint. The palate is lively yet generous, offering concentrated red and black fruit, silky tannins and vibrant acidity. Subtle notes of sweet spice and menthol add complexity, leading to a long, refined and beautifully balanced finish.
Expressive and inviting in its youth, this Premier Cru also possesses the structure and concentration to develop gracefully with bottle age.
Winemaking & Aging
Grapes are harvested and carefully sorted by hand. Traditional Burgundian fermentation with controlled extraction develops color, aromatics and tannic structure while preserving Pinot Noir's fruit. Approximately 14 months in fine-grained French oak barrels, around one-third new, adds texture and complexity.
Food Pairings
Pair with duck breast, roasted chicken, filet mignon or slow-roasted lamb. Veal with caramelized vegetables, wild mushroom risotto and aged cheeses also complement its generous fruit, fine tannins and lively freshness.
