Combining dark fruit concentration with floral lift, mineral tension and velvety tannins, it offers both immediate appeal and the structure to develop beautifully in bottle. The domaine has been family-owned since 1834 and is recognised for producing highly expressive, terroir-driven Burgundy.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTasting Notes\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIn the glass, the wine shows a deep ruby colour with youthful violet highlights. The nose is inviting and layered, revealing aromas of blackcurrant and other dark berries alongside violets, subtle spice and the earthy-mineral character associated with Pernand-Vergelesses.\n\nThe palate is concentrated and energetic, with vibrant acidity giving definition to the generous fruit. Fine-grained, velvety tannins provide structure without heaviness, while a mineral line carries through to a long, persistent finish. This is a serious and elegant Pinot Noir that can be enjoyed now with a little air, but should gain further complexity over approximately 8–12 years, depending on storage conditions.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eProduction\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe Île des Vergelesses vineyard lies in Pernand-Vergelesses in the Côte de Beaune, where the site’s limestone-rich soils and favourable exposure help produce wines with both depth and mineral freshness. Domaine Chandon de Briailles has farmed its vineyards biodynamically since 2005, with a focus on healthy soils, low intervention and faithful expression of place. The grapes are fermented as whole clusters without pumping or the addition of sulphites during vinification. The wine is then matured for 14–18 months in Burgundy oak barrels, approximately 90% used and 10% new, allowing the fruit and terroir to remain at the centre.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFood \u0026amp; Serving\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eServe at around 15–17°C. Its combination of ripe fruit, freshness and refined tannins makes it an excellent partner for roast duck, game birds, veal, pork tenderloin, mushroom dishes and classic Burgundy preparations such as coq au vin. Decanting is not essential for a mature bottle, but a young 2022 will benefit from 30–60 minutes of gentle aeration in a decanter or large Burgundy glass.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eProducer\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eDomaine Chandon de Briailles is a historic Burgundy estate based in the Côte de Beaune and has been in the de Nicolay family since 1834.
