Domaine Chandon de Briailles, located in the Côte de Beaune, has belonged to the same Chandon family since 1834! Today, Claude and François, heirs of their grandmother Countess Chandon, work with precision to honor their beautiful vineyard heritage.

The area extends over 13.7 hectares, equally divided among the three communes of Savigny-Lès-Beaune, Pernand-Vergelesses, and Aloxe-Corton. Thirty small plots are cultivated.

Claude and François received a strong legacy from their mother at the estate. These two, very complementary, each gained solid experience before taking over the estate in the 90s for Claude and then 10 years later for François. Claude was able to create a laboratory to ensure precise monitoring of the wines; François, with his past life as a wine merchant, was highly sensitized to tasting wines produced using biodynamic practices. It was therefore natural for him to initiate the conversion of his vineyard to biodynamics.

Organic farming has held an important place in the estate since the 1980s. Nadine de Nicolay realized very early on the misguided nature of the entire existing range of chemical treatments for vines. From then on, the estate resumed working the soil as an obvious choice. Five horses have been plowing since 2014.

The estate has been certified by the Demeter label since 2018. Due to the deep rooting of the plant it promotes and its completely natural aspect, biodynamics gives wines an inimitable texture on the palate and aromatic complexity. The wines are thereby magnified and possess incomparable elegance and charm. This meticulous work makes it possible to precisely reveal the aromatic identity of each climate.

In the cellar, all wines are aged in old barrels. The goal is not to heavily intervene in the winemaking and aging process, but simply to guide nature. The wines each reflect the particularity of their climate and can be appreciated at different moments in their life, for the wisest and most patient...
