A wonderfully spicy nose also features plenty of floral influence to the liqueur-like aromas of dark raspberry and kirsch. Like the Maréchaudes, this is a wine of textural contrasts as the super-fine mid-palate of the big-bodied flavors contrasts with the sleekly muscular flavors where the intensity really builds to the youthfully austere, superbly long and already highly complex finale.

Producer Information

Domaine Chandon de Briailles is a wine producer in the north of the Côte de Beaune in Burgundy. The domaine covers 14 hectares (34 acres) of vineyards spread across Savigny-lès-Beaune, Pernand-Vergelesses and Aloxe-Corton, and produces mulitple wines from the Corton Grand Cru hill. The domaine has been owned by the de Nicolay family since 1834. Countess Chandon de Briailles, (a relation to the Moët & Chandon family) took over the reins in 1982 and dedicated herself to reviving the status of the domain and its wines. Today, Domaine Chandon de Briailles produces an average of 50,000 bottles of wine per year, and has practiced biodynamic principles since 2005. As is the case for most of Burgundy, the domaine’s white wines are produced from Chardonnay and the reds from Pinot Noir. In the winery, as little intervention as possible is used throughout the vinification process with indigenous yeasts used for fermentation. Wine is aged on lees and then carefully racked and bottled with a gravity feed to preserve the phenolic content. On average, wines will spend between 14 to 18 months aging in barrel.
