Owned by the same family since 1834, the Domaine Chandon de Briailles currently belongs to the Count and Countess Aymard-Claude de Nicolay and their children. Situated four kilometres north of Beaune in Côte d'Or, the domain is in the northern area of the Côte de Beaune in the famous Burgundian vineyard. The property extends over 13.7 hectares, shared equally among the three villages of Savigny-lès-Beaune, Pernand-Vergelesses and Aloxe-Corton. François de Nicolay is the winemaker, aided by his sister Claude and the domaine's cellar master, Kojak. Since 1989, they have been using organic practices and a third of the domaine is cultivated biodynamically. No new oak is used and the wines are elegant and graceful.
