2024 Savigny lès Beaune 1er Cru Les Lavières Chandon de Briailles
£345.00 In Bond-
Goedhuis Waddesdon, Dexcember 2025
The domaine own a sizeable 2.6-hectare plot in this Premier Cru, which is named after the slabs, or ‘laves’, of clay that make up its soils, and some of their vines date back as far as 1956. The combination of clay soils and old-vine fruit makes for a particularly exciting cuvée. Aromas of fresh cherry and raspberry and a dash of clove. Bright and energetic, with fresh crunchy cranberry fruit characters, a very precise Pinot mid-palate and a rewarding creaminess on the finish.
2024 Pernand Vergelesses 1er Cru Ile des Vergelesses Chandon de Briailles
£425.00 In Bond-
Goedhuis Waddesdon, December 2025
This 4-hectare plot of 50-year-old vines is the family’s pride and joy and plays an ambassadorial role for the commune of Pernand Vergelesses, much as the hill of Corton does for its namesake appellation. Normally this prized vineyard boasts 40 casks, with its own location in the cellar, not so this vintage: just 7 casks represent the total production of the appellation. The scent of fresh strawberry and cream gives an initial impression of confidence and flamboyance. The palate however is tighter, with bitter cherry fruit flavours, held together like a coiled spring waiting to be released. Tremendous energetic clarity, with a long defined mineral finish. With age this will be sensational.
2024 Corton Rouge Trilogie Royale Grand Cru Chandon de Briailles
£625.00 In Bond-
Goedhuis Waddesdon, December 2025
Hopefully this blend of the domaine's three great Grand Crus, Bressandes, Marechaudes and Clos du Roi is a one-off, as it will mean the domaine will never have to experience such a small harvest again. Selfishly we would love to see it again, as it is glorious and absolutely works! It immediately catches the eye with its brilliant shining crimson red colour, and an exuberant scent of fresh wild alpine strawberries, with a tinge of mocha. Ripe and juicy with the Marechaudes flamboyance keen to make its presence felt, prior to the structure and grip of tannic depth so true of the Clos du Roi. Layered and nuanced with all the complexities of a great Grand Cru. Most definitely a wine to seek out this vintage.
