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 meticulously to honor their beautiful vineyard heritage.

The estate covers 13.7 hectares equally distributed among the three communes of Savigny-Lès-Beaune, Pernand-Vergelesses, and Aloxe-Corton. Thirty small plots are cultivated.

Claude and François received a strong transmission from their mother at the estate. These two, highly complementary, 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 past life as a wine merchant, was highly sensitized to tasting wines from biodynamic farming practices. It was thus naturally that he initiated 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 misguided nature of the existing array of chemical vine treatments. From then on, the estate returned to working the soil as a matter of course. Five horses have been plowing since 2014.

The estate has been Demeter certified since 2018. Through the deep rooting of the plant it promotes and its completely natural aspect, biodynamics gives wines an inimitable mouthfeel and aromatic complexity. The wines are enhanced and possess unparalleled elegance and charm. This meticulous work allows for the precise revelation of the aromatic identity of each climat.

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