Rare 2009 Grand Crus from Domaine Faiveley were poured alongside the Michelin-starred cuisine of Don Alfonso 1890 Macau for an evening that explored Burgundy through both maturity and precision.
Hosted by Matthieu Luneau, Export Sales Director of Domaine Faiveley, the dinner centred around a remarkable selection of wines spanning Meursault, Corton-Charlemagne, Échezeaux, Clos de Vougeot, and Latricières-Chambertin — with the 2009 Grand Crus offering a particularly compelling look into one of the defining vintages from the early years of Erwan Faiveley’s leadership.
The pairings moved seamlessly across the menu. Corton-Charlemagne brought tension and layered minerality to the scampi carpaccio and sea urchin pasta, while the mature reds unfolded gradually through the richer courses, revealing notes of spice, forest floor, dark berries, and savoury earth with increasing depth in the glass.
Rooted in Nuits-Saint-Georges since 1825, Domaine Faiveley continues to stand among Burgundy’s great family domaines, balancing generations of heritage with a progressive approach to viticulture and sustainability across its vineyards.
An evening defined by mature Grand Cru Burgundy, thoughtful cuisine, and the quiet complexity that only time can bring to both wine and conversation.
