A mere 12 hl/ha. Less in the juicy red fruit spectrum, there is more black fruit depth here. Again nice weight and tension, finish beautifully juicy. Drinking range: 2018 - 2024 L&S (Nov 2014)

A round, fruity example, this shows pure cherry, with hints of raspberry, spice and flowers. Gains breadth and richness, expanding on the spice- and tobacco-tinged finish. Drinking range: 2018 - 2027 Rating: 90 Bruce Sanderson, The Wine Spectator (May 2016)
(a mix of vine ages though the oldest date from 1938). Reduction. The texture of the middle weight flavors is palpably finer and more evidently mineral-inflected as well and though there is better definition on the energetic finish that is solidly complex, the dryness is presently enough to negatively affect the balance. Again I stress that the gas renders this hard to assess but the dryness of the tannins is a concern. 2019+ Rating: 86-89 Allen Meadows, www.Burghound.com (Apr 2015)

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.

Rémi gave us this to taste after the Volnay Santenots and you can see why - it has a greater density and earthy grip - but the precision of the aromas and the thick feel are no so far away. Lots of whole bunches i...(read more)

Immediate sense of class, this wine has a grace to it. Fatness and volume, richly full of fruit but also richly tannic. Very full. Superb richness. Wait fifteen or twenty years and serve with a leg of lamb or venison.
