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 spans 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. 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, in his previous life as a wine merchant, became highly sensitive to tasting wines from biodynamic farming practices. It was thus 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 misguided nature of the existing array of chemical vine treatments. From then on, the estate resumed soil cultivation 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 texture on the palate and aromatic complexity. The wines are magnified, exhibiting incomparable 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 particularity of their climate and can be appreciated at different stages of their lives, for the wise and patient ones…
