2018 Pernand-Vergelesses 1er Cru Île des Vergelesses Blanc, Chandon de Briailles

2018 Pernand-Vergelesses 1er Cru Île des Vergelesses Blanc, Chandon de Briailles

This is made in the old fashioned method, with 12 hours in a vertical whole bunch press, once the skins have been split open. When we tasted it still hadn’t seen sulphur. Very fresh pears and energetic.

Domaine Chandon de Briailles

Chandon de Briailles is one of the prettiest domaines in Burgundy. The beautiful house and cellars, lying in the heart of Savigny-lès-Beaune, has been home to the charming de Nicolay family since 1834. Today, brother and sister team, Claude and François, create elegant wines from appellations which include Pernand-Vergelesses, Aloxe-Corton and multiple wines from the grand cru Hill of Corton vineyard. Claude and François have farmed their 14 hectares biodynamically since 2005 and organically since 2011 and a more recent update in the cellar in 2017 in the form of a vertical press has brought an additional elegance and balance to the wines.
