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 heritage of vineyards.

The area spans 13.7 hectares, equally divided among the three communes of Savigny-Lès-Beaune, Pernand-Vergelesses, and Aloxe-Corton. 30 small parcels are cultivated.

Claude and François received a strong transmission from their mother at the estate. Highly complementary, they each gained solid experience before taking over the estate in the 90s for Claude and then 10 years later for François. Claude notably created a laboratory to ensure precise monitoring of the wines; François, with his previous life as a wine merchant, was highly sensitive to the tasting of wines produced using biodynamic practices. It was therefore natural for him to initiate the conversion of his vineyard to biodynamics.

Organic farming has played an important role in the estate since the 1980s. Nadine de Nicolay realized very early on the misguidedness of the entire existing range of chemical treatments for vines. From then on, the estate resumed working the soil as a matter of course. Five horses have been plowing the land 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 the wines an inimitable mouthfeel and aromatic complexity. The wines are magnified and possess incomparable elegance and charm. This meticulous work precisely reveals the aromatic identity of each climat.

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. Each wine reflects the particularity of its climat and can be enjoyed at different stages of its life, for the wisest and most patient...
