Ugly Sweater and Burgundy

CHANDON DE BRIAILLES

As much as I would love to demystify Burgundy, I simply can’t. But I do want everyone to taste, see, and feel how Burgundy evolves, opens, clings to your memory, and leaves you wanting more. For me, Burgundy is a source of frustration, obsession, compulsion, allure, and immense intrigue. In other words, an ongoing and positive challenge!

As always, Massachusetts is only allocated a handful of these beauties, and I get just a few bottles here and there. Prices range from $50 low to $100 mid. Discounts will be available for this evening because I’m passing my pre-arrival pricing on to you. Happy holidays!

Oh! And you must wear an ugly sweater of course!

Here’s a little history on Chandon de Briailles

A family history since 1834. In the ownership of the same family since 1834, the Domaine Chandon de Briailles currently belongs to the Count and Countess Aymard-Claude de Nicolay and their children. The Count inherited it from his grandmother, Countess Chandon de Briailles, herself related to the famous champagne house of Moët et Chandon.

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. Its surface extends over 13.7 hectares (34 acres) shared equally amongst the three villages of Savigny-lès-Beaune, Pernand-Vergelesses, and Aloxe-Corton.

Expression all in finesse. Vinified and aged in the purest Burgundian tradition, their wines express themselves with great freshness and reflect their terroir and their climate of origin. Wines without artifice; generous and well-constructed, that gain in complexity through aging.

Certification via ECOCERT and DEMETER testing began in 2008. Consequently,  the wines are fully certified from the vintage 2011.
