About Winery
Chandon de Briailles
Bourgogne, France
For over a century, Domaine Chandon de Briailles has been the guardian of a family winemaking tradition that spans generations. Today, this estate is owned by Count and Countess Aymard-Claude de Nicolay and their children, who keep alive the fascinating history of this vineyard.
The history of the Domaine is intertwined with Countess Chandon de Briailles, whose family has connections with the renowned champagne house Moët et Chandon. This family heritage has persisted over the years, transforming the Domaine into a true jewel in the heart of the Burgundy vineyards, located four kilometers north of Beaune in the heart of the Burgundy vineyards.
Domaine Chandon de Briailles majestically spans 13.7 hectares in the renowned wine region of Côte de Beaune in Burgundy. Its vineyards encompass the villages of Savigny-lès-Beaune, Pernand-Vergelesses, and Aloxe-Corton, offering unique and exceptional terroirs.
The manajewelent of Domaine Chandon de Briailles has been passed down from generation to generation, and in 1982, Nadine de Nicolay took on the responsibility of reviving the grandeur of the estate's wines. With tireless dedication, she restored the nobility of the wines, earning unanimous recognition.
Today, her sons, Claude and François de Nicolay, work together to continue the family's legacy. All decisions, including winemaking, are made collaboratively, with Claude overseeing winemaking and François managing the vineyards and part of the marketing. This complementary collaboration is a strength of the Domaine.
