Domaine Chandon de Briailles was established in 1834, situated just four kilometers north of Beaune in Côte d'Or, the domaine is in the northern area of the Côte de Beaune, with 13.7 hectares of vines shared equally amongst the three villages of Savigny-lès-Beaune, Pernand-Vergelesses and Aloxe-Corton. In 1988, Claude de Nicolay took over from her mother making some of the top wines in Burgundy, and in 2001, Francois de Nicolay joined his sister to run the domaine. This brother and sister duo makes some of the most age worthy and sensual wines in the Côte d'Or.

The domaine produces on average 50,000 bottles per year with a minimalist approach, with its vineyard becoming fully biodynamic in 2005. The winery itself became certified biodynamic in 2012, attributing to stringent cellar management with no enological products, no tartaric acid, no exogenous yeast, etc, used during the cellar process. The wines of Chandon de Briailles often contain a high percentage of whole-cluster giving the wines structure to age and an aromatic lift, and a low amount of new oak is used. A true non-interventionist domaine is hard to come by in Burgundy, we are honored to represent such a singular and historic domaine.

Maison de Nicolay is a project that extends beyond Chandon de Briailles with purchased whole grapes and un-fermented grape juice from neighboring vineyards that work with organic and biodynamic processes. The grapes are fermented and aged in the cellars of the domaine, with minimal additions in the cellar. The wines from this range are a platform for Francois de Nicolay to express the different terroir of Burgundy and beyond.
