The Wine
The vines for this single-varietal Pinot Noir are on average 40 years old, some even over 80 years old. The hand-picked grapes undergo spontaneous fermentation with a high proportion of whole bunches, followed by aging for 18 months in mostly used barriques and tonneaux. Transparent cherry red in the glass. On the nose, a poem of red fruit. Delicate, clear, yet enormously powerful. Distinct notes of cherry paired with a dancing and fragrant raspberry nuance. Added to this is the scent of cool, chalky soil, gradually followed by earthy tones, but always subtle and entirely in the service of the extremely elegant fruit aroma that hovers above everything. The palate is bursting with energy, initially the juice of sour cherries and red berries, which runs over the tongue as if intrinsically cooled and coats the mouth with fine tannins. Then, on the finish, that chalky, earthy note lingers, providing a wonderful complement as a spice. A salty aftertaste also lingers. A truly fine, complex, and impressive Pinot Premier Cru!

The Winery
Chandon de Briailles
Located in Savigny-les-Beaune, Chandon represents a purist Burgundy style on the Côte d'Or, featuring biodynamic viticulture and uncompromising "do-nothing" in the cellar. Formerly a Parisian wine merchant, Francois de Nicolay and his sister Claude cultivate some of the absolute top vineyards between Beaune and Corton. The wines produced here are bright, extremely juicy, and some are already drinkable even in their youth.
