CHANDON DE BRIAILLES
Savigny-Les-Beaune
Organically farmed since 1990s and biodynamically since 2005. Top quality Grand Cru Corton’s is what this fine estate is reputed for.
Corton Les Maréchaudes Grand Cru at the bottom of the hill, just above Ladoix and below Les Bressandes produces lighter wines, more refined and elegant.
Corton Les Bressandes Grand Cru the largest parcel, mid-slope. There is more tannic structure here. These are Cortons with character, long and lingering with depth.
Corton Clos du Roi Grand Cru, arguably the best sub-climat of the Corton hill. Delicate flavours with powerful depth of flavour from over sixty year old vines.
The Chandon des Biailles wines have a silky smooth purity of strawberry and cherry fruit. Seductive and perfumed.
Chandon de Briailles, Corton-Bressandes 2005
Grand Cru, Côte de Beaune
Six slightly damaged labels
Tasting note: As it often is, the nose is more elegant though more reserved with refined red pinot fruit and obvious minerality that continues onto the sweet, rich, precise and firm flavors that possess good vibrancy and excellent finishing punch and length. This is very firmly structured and crafted in an understated, "built to age" style. 92p Burghound April 2007.
