Green leaves and stones and touches of citrus. Palate mineral and firm with stony substance. 'Right-angles, no make-up' says Claude - and indeed it is very structural and impressive. Needs time. L&S (Jan 2009)

A ripe, pure, fresh and highly expressive nose of floral, green apple and wet stone that is also reflected by the rich, full and obviously powerful medium-bodied flavors that are underpinned by an intense minerality and ample acidity on the bone dry and hugely long finish. A big wine but one of class and grace. 2014+ Rating: 92-94 Allen Meadows, www.Burghound.com (Jun 2009)
Expressive and intricate aromatics of lemon, smoke, mineral salt and orange zest. The palate is vivacious on the attack with a sinuous, slinky texture and understated, citrussy fruit. This is gracefully intense with a long, savoury and refined finish. Fine-very fine. From 2013/14.Sarah Marsh MW, The Burgundy Briefing (Jan 2009)
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.
