Slightly reduced, making it firm again, but on palate almost surprisingly full, rock water minerality, very attractive. L&S (Dec 2009)

The mix of black cherry and mulberry has a floral charm. Fleshy and rich at the start with lighter red cherry and raspberry on mid and end palate. The finish is long and elegant. 2011-15 Rating: 90 Derek Smedley MW, www.dereksmedleymw.co.uk (Dec 2013)

Scented and appealing aromatics of rose and redcurrant. Intensely scented and alluring. This has perfumed fruit really sustained throughout the palate, with firm talc-like tannin and a scented, sweetly fruited finish. Graceful but intense. Particularly good+. From 2014/15. Rating: 17.5 Sarah Marsh MW, The Burgundy Briefing (Jan 2010)

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.
