Corton Gd Cru - Clos du Roi 2022

Owned by the same family since 1834, Domaine Chandon de Briailles is currently owned by Count and Countess Aymard-Claude de Nicolay and their children.

Located four kilometres from Beaune, in the Côte d'Or, the estate is in the northern part of Beaune, known as the Côte de Beaune of the famous Burgundy vineyards.

Its surface area covers 13.7 hectares divided equally between the three communes of Savigny-Lès-Beaune, Pernand-Vergelesses and Aloxe-Corton.

Very close to the CORTON "Charlemagne", it is a hilltop terroir, very steep and made up of clay-limestone marl containing a little sand. It is also a late ripening terroir, and its draining nature means that the grapes do not rot in the final phase of ripening.

The low yields of this parcel give great intensity to the wine built on fine tannins. Its minerality engenders complexity, finesse and noble aromas. A wine for collectors, it merits keeping a long time. It will reward the patient connoisseur.
