17 / 20"Mid crimson. Sweetly scented with red fruit, just a touch of rubbery reduction on the nose. Very smooth and very open and soft for a grand cru at this early stage. Lacks the majesty of a grand cru but has early-days harmony and good depth of fruit. Much richer than the Pernand Île des Vergelesses"

Tasting Notes
Domaine Chandon de Briailles is a wine producer in the north of the Côte de Beaune in Burgundy. The domaine covers 14 hectares (34 acres) of vineyards spread across Savigny-lès-Beaune, Pernand-Vergelesses and Aloxe-Corton, and produces mulitple wines from the Corton Grand Cru hill.
The domaine has been owned by the de Nicolay family since 1834. Countess Chandon de Briailles, (a relation to the Moët & Chandon family) took over the reins in 1982 and dedicated herself to reviving the status of the domain and its wines. Today, Domaine Chandon de Briailles produces an average of 50,000 bottles of wine per year, and has practiced biodynamic principles since 2005.
