DOMAINE CHANDON DE BRIAILLES
This Domaine's fortunes were transformed during the late 1980's, when two remarkable ladies, both members of the owning, de Nicolay family, decided to base themselves at the estate, supervising every activity. The ladies are Countess Nadine de Nicolay and her daughter Claude. Both are totally committed to low yields, minimal handling and constant attention to detail. The wines show great purity of ripe fruit, very fine expressions of Pinot aroma, and beguiling, fleshy textures. The 1990 vintage is approaching maturity (Savigny Lavières), but has ample reserves in respect of Pernand Ile des Vergelesses (the best wine of its commune) and the magnificent Corton-Bressandes. AH
