Domaine Faiveley La Combe d'Orveau 1er Cru, Chambolle-Musigny

Domaine Faiveley’s La Combe d’Orveau lies at the border of Chambolle-Musigny and the Grand Cru of Musigny, a privileged site known for its poise and depth. The vineyard’s sheltered position produces fruit of fine fragrance and balance. Under the direction of Erwan Faiveley, with winemaker Jérôme Flous, the wine is made with gentle extraction and careful use of French oak, about one-third new each year. The aim is to capture the vineyard’s natural energy and texture without excess weight. Each vintage shows bright cherry, raspberry and floral notes, with a thread of spice and minerality through the palate. The tannins are finely woven, supporting a long, composed finish. La Combe d’Orveau reflects the modern Faiveley style, where precision and restraint highlight the detail of a truly exceptional Premier Cru site that sits comfortably among the finest of Chambolle-Musigny.
