Description:
Owned by the same family since 1834 Domaine Chandon de Briailles was once a renowned domaine, but things had declined. Then in 1990, Nadine de Nicolay and her daughter, Claude, took over.
Changes were made everywhere as yields were reduced, the use of herbicides abandoned for natural methods, while fining and filtration were stopped. This change in philosophy resulted in a changed of fortune and Domaine Chandon de Briailles is once again acknowledged as a maker of fine wines.
This change has been reflected not only in the vineyard but also in the winery and the wines now spend between 18 and 24 months in the underground cellars where they are racked twice and bottled by gravity without filtration.
A pinot with great character full of dark forrest fruit aromas that lead onto the palate. This wine is well balanced with a good tannic structure, a little minerality and enjoyable finish.

This deep red coloured wine is produced from vines over 40 year old. The Pinot character comes through on the nose and palate as the intense, fine and focused red fruit comes to the fore supported by hints of earth and sweetness. Ripe tannins, good balance and a long finish complement this enjoyable wine. (6 x 75 cl)
