From a .6 hectare parcel with a limestone soil that used to be planted to Pinot Noir and blended into the Savigny Villages Rouge.

Mid-slope and predominantly limestone. Lavières comes from the word “lave” which in this case has no volcanic reference, but was the term used in the past to describe the flat limestone tiles used to cover the roofs. In fact, these famous stones are found here in the sub-soil. The vines are more...

This Premier Cru lies beneath the Corton Bressandes and next to the Corton Paulands, both Grand Cru. Chandon de Briailles owns .28 hectare and the vines were planted in 1987. The soil here is a bit out of the ordinary: thicker clay than in Bressandes with a notable amount of iron and pebbly...

In Remington Norman and Charles Taylor’s book, The Great Domaines of Burgundy, Les Vergelesses and Île des Vergelesses are described as top sites in the village of Pernand-Vergelesses, “wines of weight and structure, capable of aging for twenty years or more.” Les Vergelesses is just below Île,...

Many argue that Île des Vergelesses should be classified as a Grand Cru. It’s true that in the best years, with it’s eastern exposure and mid-slope location, it behaves as a Grand Cru. Chandon de Briailles has a healthy three hectares planted to pinot noir, located in an area with a nice slope, and...

Maréchaudes is a part of the Aloxe commune, which is tiny with only 100 residents! Located just below Corton Bressandes, the vineyards have east, south-east exposure; Claude explained that here, you begin to see some similarities to the soil you find in the Cote de Nuits. The soil is red as it is...

Mid-slope and predominantly limestone (Lavières comes from the word "lave" which here has nothing volcanic about it but was the term used in the past to describe the flat limestone slabs used to cover the roofs). In fact, these famous stones are found here in the sub-soil. The vines are more than...

This cuvée comes from four parcels which total 1.12 hectare, situated mid-slope and spread in homogenous fashion over the whole appellation, giving a nice typicity of Bressandes. The soils are deep and made up in equal parts of limestone and clay, giving the wine lovely balance and great length on...

Clos du Roi, one of the most famous vineyards of Corton, is just below the Le Corton lieu-dit of Corton Charlemagne, a terroir high on the hillside, very steep and made up of clay-limestone marls containing a little sand and little topsoil. Claude describes it as a chance to taste Charlemagne as a...

Of the four hectares that Chandon de Briailles owns in Île de Vergelesses, one hectare is planted to Chardonnay. It's a clay and limestone soil, which is a part of the same geological break as Charlemagne; with more clay at the bottom of the parcel and very calcareous at the top. The chardonnay,...

More limestone in the soil compared to Charmois. Native yeast fermentation in stainless steel. Aged in French oak barrels for 24 months, less than 15% new. 30-45 g/L sulfur added at bottling. Corpulent, lemon curd with zippy acidity.

This village Puligny comes from the lieu-dit Les Aubues, an enclave within the better-known Les Encégnières. Crisp with bright citrus, passion fruit and mineral notes.

This is one of the most recent parcels purchased by the winery in 2013, thanks to their son Vivian. The vines are 25 years-old an planted on an incredibly steep slope. Working here is harrowing to say the least and everything must be done by hand. It's very hard work, but the terroir is exceptional...

The Montée de Tonnerre is new to the Julien Brocard line up starting in the 2020 vintage. Julien began converting this site to biodynamic agriculture in 2017 and 2020 is the first year that it was certified biodynamic by Demeter. Montée de Tonnerre is to the right of the valley of the grand crus...

Vaudevey is located in the valley situated behind the Côte de Léchet. Brocard has four hectares on a very steep slope with east exposure. It's one of the coldest sites of all of the 1er Cru. It spends 12-13 months in large foudres. It has a richness to it and finishes with a lean and salty finish. 

From 50 year-old vines with southern exposure.  Fermented and aged for 14 months on lees in foudres.
