Description
Owned by the same family since 1834, Domaine Chandon de Briailles is currently owned by Count and Countess Aymard-Claude de Nicolay and their children.
Located four kilometres from Beaune, in the Côte d'Or, the estate is in the northern part of Beaune, known as the Côte de Beaune of the famous Burgundy vineyards, and covers 13.7 hectares, divided equally between the three communes of Savigny-Lès-Beaune, Pernand-Vergelesses and Aloxe-Corton.
Magnificent terroir of white marl at the top of the hillside facing south. Very chalky and draining soil, which allows the grapes to be harvested at optimum maturity.
The grand cru Corton-Charlemagne is today a white wine, this time it is due to the wife of the emperor: to see his beard thus stained with red and always whitening, she would have advised him to give up the red... to put itself at the white wine!
Tasting
The expression of this exceptional white wine is mineral, white flowers and fruits (peach, apricot). The persistence in the mouth is infinite.
It is one of the most beautiful white wines of Burgundy which can be drunk young and which gains complexity and richness year after year.
