Light simple crimson. Light sweet attractive nose. Firm spine running through it with still quite marked tannins. A little more severe than the Senard version. Should get there eventually. Very fresh, brisk finish. 2012-20 Rating: 17++ Jancis Robinson OBE MW - www.JancisRobinson.com (Apr 2009)
**** - in the 'top twenty wine of the vintage'www.decanter.com (Jan 2008)
They have 4 different blocks in the big sweep of the cru, so it is a good representation of the vineyard as a whole. The vines are 20-60 years old. This has a funky aroma with hint of truffle and mushroom. It's interesting and Claude tells me it never goes to animal with age; it always keeps the fruit. While the aroma is attractively intriguing, the palate is more conventional. Tight, yet integrated, finely compact and with well harnessed power. A purposeful wine but it also has elegance linked to freshness, and a long tapering finish. Fine to very fine. From 2013/14Sarah 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.
