    The wine

    A blend of different plots of Corton Grand Cru, this cuvée was created using a destemmed harvest (between 10 and 20%), vinified in concrete vats with indigenous yeasts and raised for 18-20 months in old barrels. Bottled without fining or filtration, this wine has a ruby hue and emanates notes of woodland and kirsch. With time, it will evolve to carry notes of game, and its powerful finish is long-lasting.

    Information about domain Chandon de Briailles

    Situated in the heart of the Côte de Beaune and spread over three villages (Savigny-Lès-Beaune, Pernand-Vergelesses et Aloxe-Corton), this domain was bought in 1834 by Countess Chandon de Briailles. It has been belonged to the same family ever since. A pioneer of bioydynamics in the region, the domain is also known for its élevages using very little new oak. These wines, perfectly suited to cellaring, are sought-after for their refinement and delicacy.More information : Read the article about domain Chandon de Briailles on the blog
