DOMAINE CHANDON DE BRIAILLES
In the ownership of the same family since 1834, the Domaine Chandon de Briailles currently belongs to the Count and Countess Aymard-Claude de Nicolay and their children.The Count inherited it from his grandmother, Countess Chandon de Briailles, herself related to the famous champagne house of Moët et Chandon.
Situated four kilometres north of Beaune in Côte d'Or, the domain is in the northern area of the Côte de Beaune in the famous Burgundian vineyard. Its surface extends over 13.7 hectares (34 acres) shared equally amongst the three villages of Savigny-lès-Beaune, Pernand-Vergelesses and Aloxe-Corton. Vinified and aged in the purest Burgundian tradition, their wines express themselves with great freshness and reflect their terroir and their climate of origin.
