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 magnificent vineyard heritage.

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

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

Organic farming has held an important place in the domain since the 80s. Nadine de Nicolay realized very early on the absurdity of the entire 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 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 mouthfeel and aromatic complexity. The wines are thus enhanced, possessing unparalleled elegance and charm. This meticulous work precisely reveals 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 specific characteristics of their climate and can be enjoyed at different stages of their life, for the wiser and more patient...
