Description
Owned by the same family since 1834, Domaine Chandon de Briailles is currently owned by Count and Countess Aymard-Claude de Nicolay and their children.
Located four kilometres from Beaune in the Côte d'Or, the estate is in the northern part of Beaune, known as the Côte de Beaune of the famous Burgundy vineyards, and covers 13.7 hectares, divided equally between the three communes of Savigny-Lès-Beaune, Pernand-Vergelesses and Aloxe-Corton.
A topographically well placed premier cru of Aloxe-Corton, below the Corton "Bressandes" Gd. cru and next to the Cortons "Paulands" Gd. cru.
The soil is clay on the surface and stony limestone at depth, in a rather uneven way, which makes it an unusual terroir. Exposed to the East, just below mid-slope, it achieves early ripening.
Tasting
This wine has wild and complex aromas typical of its terroir. It is a full and powerful wine.
A wine for laying down, it can be kept for a good ten years.
