The Faiveley family has grown over seven generations into one of Burgundy's largest vineyard owners, now farming around one hundred twenty-five hectares across the Côte de Nuits, Côte de Beaune, Côte Chalonnaise, and Chablis. The family acquired Clos des Cortons as a monopole in 1874, and the wine remains the domaine's flagship, one of only two Burgundy grands crus to carry an owner's family name.

Clos des Cortons is a walled monopole of just under three hectares on the east-facing slope of the Corton hill, planted on ferruginous oolitic limestone and marl and farmed organically. Grapes are hand-harvested and sorted, fermented with daily punch-downs over roughly nineteen days, then pressed gently by gravity before aging eighteen months in French oak, about half of it new.

The wine shows dark cherry, plum, and violet, with notes of licorice and spice over a stony, mineral core. Medium to full-bodied, it carries firm, chalky tannins and bright acidity through a long, structured finish built for cellaring. It pairs well with rack of lamb, venison, or a firm aged cheese.

94-96 Points
"The 2022 Corton Grand Cru Clos des Cortons Faiveley is also a real success, unfurling in the glass with rich aromas of cherries, berries, peonies, licorice and spices, followed by a medium to full-bodied, deep and concentrated palate that's cool and stony, with a tightly wound core framed by sweet but chalky tannins. This will be long lived."
