🍇 François de Nicolay / Domaine Chandon de Briailles
Based in the heart of Burgundy, François de Nicolay and Domaine Chandon de Briailles embody the elegance, precision and authenticity of great Côte de Beaune wines. The estate is rooted in Pernand-Vergelesses, surrounded by some of the region’s most celebrated vineyards, including Corton, Corton-Charlemagne, Savigny-lès-Beaune and Aloxe-Corton.
🌿 The domaine’s vineyards benefit from a remarkable mosaic of limestone and marl soils, shaped by Burgundy’s cool continental climate. These conditions give the wines their distinctive balance, combining freshness, mineral character and depth. The estate has also embraced biodynamic farming, with careful attention paid to soil life, biodiversity and the natural rhythm of the vines.
🍷 Pinot Noir and Chardonnay are the principal grape varieties. Pinot Noir produces refined, silky reds with expressive fruit, delicate spice and a strong sense of place. Chardonnay gives bright, mineral whites with lively acidity, subtle richness and impressive length. Each wine is made to reveal the character of its vineyard rather than mask it.
✨ With their graceful structure and remarkable finesse, the wines of François de Nicolay and Domaine Chandon de Briailles are ideal for discovering the true spirit of Burgundy. They offer a captivating experience for both curious wine lovers and experienced collectors.
