Goedhuis, January 2014
Domaine Chandon de Briailles owns the core of Pernand’s finest 1er Cru vineyard. Exquisite crisp red cherry fruit aromas, this is a very poised wine. It is open and fresh, yet rounded and finishes with a lovely fresh fruit mouth feel.

Jancis Robinson, January 2014, Score: 17
Pale ruby. Rather closed nose but savoury and juicy. Very grown up and, like the Lavières, not a hint of excess sweetness. And there's a tad more substance and fine tannin. Grown up. Though it will never be a blockbuster. Drink 2017-2025

Domaine Chandon de Briailles
The sibling team at this stunning domaine (Francois and Claude de Nicolay) is most definitely a winning one. Their biggest influence has been to convert the estate firstly to organic and now to biodynamic methods of viticulture and vinification. The wines focus on sensual flavours and refinement, these are not powerful, but the aged vines allow for wines of extraordinary texture and complexity.Region
Pernand Vergelesses
With its neighbours, Ladoix Serrigny and Aloxe-Corton, Pernand Vergelesses has its own village and premier cru appellations but shares the two grand crus: Corton, a red made from Pinot Noir, and Corton Charlemagne, a white made from Chardonnay. The limestone marl soil is well-suited to growing Chardonnay and the resulting white wines are crisp and mineral with a good capacity for ageing. Pinot Noir is planted in areas of redder iron-rich soil and the best vineyards produce charmingly soft red wines with classic notes of raspberries and violets.
