Chandon de Briailles
Savigny-lès-Beaune
![]() |
Established in 1834, Chandon des Briailles has an admirable history and remains to this day a true family domaine. The estate has been passed down through generations of the Nicolay family, right down to its current guardians, brother and sister team François and Claude. |
The 13.7 hectares vineyards, dotted throughout Savigny-lès-Beaune, Pernand-Vergelesses and Aloxe-Corton, have been biodynamic certified since 2005. In the cellar, Francois favours fermentation with whole clusters and zero sulphur for this rare, waxed-capped limited range. He crafts wines in a thoroughly non-maquillé style, opting always for neutral oak over new. The results are graceful expressions of terroir that feel very free and unmanipulated. |
