A moderately exotic nose features notes of melon, straw, apricot and mango and this succulent quality is picked up by the delicious, balanced, intense and detailed flavors that possess excellent finishing energy and persistence. A really lovely effort brimming with minerality. Worth a look. 2010+ Rating: 89 Allen Meadows, www.Burghound.com (Jun 2008)
"An island surrounded by a road, not water! Shaped like an island and the best part is the Savigny part. Full East exposition, which towards the end is more North North-East." Four hectares planted with both red and white. Claude's mother planted the Chardonnay in 1985. Some of the red vines are 60 years old. "The soil is very poor. The bottom is a little richer, but 20m up the slope and the soil is very poor and stony white." This has a deeper aroma with a glimpse of ground coriander. The attack is fuller and richer. There is plumpness on the front of the palate and pure summer fruits in the middle. Fresh and clear. The tannins are firmer, but well integrated; a bit more grip and some darker fruit on the finish. Particularly good 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.

Again ripe and rich. There's a sweetness here, and a lift despite the fruit being so blackly concentrated and powerful. Finish has tiny sensation of the whole bunch fermentation, but this carries and lifts the fruit.
