A Family Name on a Grand Cru
Only two Burgundy grands crus carry an owner's name — Romanée-Conti, and this monopole, Faiveley property since 1874. And 2007 happens to be the very vintage the domaine began remaking its style.

Mention Faiveley and opinions split — those who remember the old, hard, closed wines, and those who taste the estate now and wonder what happened. The dividing line is roughly 2007, and this 2010 Mazis stands firmly on the new side.
