We have been lucky enough to source some perfectly cellared releases from this renowned producer. If you love classic, pure, age-worthy styles of Burgundy, then these wines, direct from the cellars of Chandon de Briailles, offer a savvy buying opportunity. Perhaps more importantly as many of the wines are either drinking at optimum maturity or come from an earlier drinking vintage - like the 2007 reds - they make perfect sense to fit straight onto your wine list! The wines are due to arrive – having been pristinely cellared - mid September. Stocks of some wines are very limited as we have only received small quantities. Chandon de Briailles (pron: Bree-eye) is one of the most famous producers of Corton, Savigny-lès-Beaune and Pernand Vergelesses. Claude de Nicolaÿ and cellarmaster Jean-Claude (Kojak) Bouveret, produce a range of rigorously authentic red and white Burgundies from some of the finest, biodynamically run vineyards in the region. These are wines of clarity, distinction and poise.
