This is distinctly more elegant than it usually is with beautifully fresh and even airy mineral and earth-infused ripe green fruit along with peach and pear notes that introduce big, rich and muscular full-bodied flavors that deliver real size and weight, all wrapped in a delicious, complex, intense, palate staining and notably citrusy finish. 2011+ Rating: 92 Allen Meadows, www.Burghound.com (Jun 2008)
This comes from three different terroir. The top part of Les Bressandes; one and a half barrels from Les Renards, which gives the minerality and 2 barrels from Les Chaumes, which is much lower and in the Aloxe area. Muffled and tense on the nose, but there is richness on the palate. A big step up in concentration. The finish is compact. Much more stone on this, rounded, smooth stone and ripe weight and concentration on the finish. Good balance and tension. Fine to fine+. From 2011Sarah Marsh MW, The Burgundy Briefing (Jan 2008)
Domaine Chandon de Briailles
One of the great family domaines of the Côte d'Or, housed in the remarkable manor house at Savigny, with excellent holdings in Savigny itself and in neighbouring Pernand and on the hill of Corton. Organic since 1988 and, now, biodynamic (fully certified by Demeter and Ecocert). It is run by brother and sister François and Claude de Nicolaÿ. As François explains, they do not make 'bêtes de concours' or competition wines, but ones you drink. They have over the last few years progressed the renewal of the barrels of the domaine - there is still very little actual new wood, 5% new wood on the premiers crus, and 10% on the Grands crus, but they have replaced the oldest barrels which they have come to understand did have an effect of closing the wines down.
