Domaine Chandon de Briailles LES FOURNEAUX 1er Cru Savigny-les-Beaune

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 deep red coloured wine with concentrated, big rich fruit flavours and a long sophisticated finish. (12 x 75 cl)

The de Nicolay family has owned the domaine since 1834 when they bought the Manoir. Today Claude de Nicolay Drouhin, who took over from her mother, Comtesse Nadine, in 1990, oversees the viticulture and viniculture. By common consent she has continued to raise the standards of the estate to new heights. The vineyard is spread over the communes of Savigny, Pernand and Aloxe Corton. There are some 13 hectares, planted mainly with Pinot Noir and a small amount of Chardonnay in "Ile des Vergelesses", "Corton Bressandes" and, a very recent addition, "Charlemagne". Winemaking follows traditional practice: red grapes are macerated for five days before the alcoholic fermentation in open cement tanks. The free -run wine is then settled in stainless steel before moving to cask (6 x 75 cl)

Ripe tannins, good balance and a long finish complement this enjoyable wine. (6 x 75 cl)
