Count and Countess \u003cstrong\u003eAymard-Claude de Nicolaÿ\u003c\/strong\u003e and their children are the current owners. Since 2001, Claude and François have jointly managed the estate, Claude with his oenological training and François focusing more on vineyard work and marketing.\u003c\/span\u003e \u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThe wines are crafted using entirely natural methods; no sulfur is used in the vineyards, and only homeopathic doses are administered in the winery, depending on the vintage. Vinification is carried out by gravity, with daily pump-overs and manual punch-downs, followed by aging in oak barrels. The resulting wines are dazzling, profound, complex, and remarkably refined, with a pure and seductive character and a silky mouthfeel. They faithfully reflect the specific characteristics of each terroir and each vintage.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003c!----\u003e","products":[{"product_id":"corton-grand-cru-clos-du-roi-2017-chandon-de-briailles","title":"Corton Grand Cru “Clos du Roi” 2017","description":"\u003cdiv data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\n\n \u003cp class=\"ProductVintageDetailedInformation_content__E28CP\"\u003eClos du Roi is a hillside terroir where Pinot Noir vines grow on steep slopes of slightly sandy, clay-limestone marl. It is the heart of the Grand Cru, producing structured and intensely aromatic wines. The estate owns 38 ares planted with vines between 40 and 60 years old, yielding small, highly concentrated, late-ripening berries. Cultivated biodynamically since 2005, the grapes are harvested by hand, then the partially destemmed berries are placed in vats and chilled before indigenous yeasts initiate fermentation. Daily pump-overs are performed initially, followed by manual punch-downs. After 15 to 20 days, the wine is transferred to barrels, with a small amount of new oak, for aging of 14 to 18 months in the 13th-century cellars. \u003cbr\u003eClos du Roi is undoubtedly the most powerful Corton of the estate, the old vines yielding an intense wine, fragrant with ripe red and black fruits, spices, and licorice. Its fine tannins envelop a palate marked by minerality. A wine built for long aging. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cstrong data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\n\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\u003cdiv data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\n\n \u003cstrong data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eEstate\u003c\/strong\u003e : Domaine Chandon de Briailles\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\u003cdiv data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\n\n \u003cstrong data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eWinemaker\u003c\/strong\u003e : Domaine Chandon de Briailles\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\u003cdiv data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\n\n \u003cstrong data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eCuvée\u003c\/strong\u003e : Clos du Roi\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\u003cdiv data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\n\n \u003cstrong data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eVintage\u003c\/strong\u003e : 2017\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\u003cdiv data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\n\n \u003cstrong data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eAppellation\u003c\/strong\u003e : Corton Grand Cru\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\u003cdiv data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\n\n \u003cstrong data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eRegion\u003c\/strong\u003e : Burgundy\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\u003cdiv data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\n\n \u003cstrong data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eGrape variety\u003c\/strong\u003e : Pinot Noir\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\u003cdiv data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\n\n \u003cstrong data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eVolume\u003c\/strong\u003e : 75 cl\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\u003cdiv data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\n\n \u003cstrong data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eAlcohol content\u003c\/strong\u003e : 13.5%\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\u003cdiv data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\n\n \u003cstrong data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eAging potential\u003c\/strong\u003e : at least 10 years\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\u003cdiv data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e \n\u003cstrong data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eServing temperature\u003c\/strong\u003e : 17-18°C\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Chandon de Briailles","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46365030678863,"sku":"","price":239.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0291\/0607\/7744\/files\/corton-clos-du-roi-2017-chandon-de-briailles.jpg?v=1784871478"}],"url":"https:\/\/cavefrenchtheory.com\/en\/collections\/domaine-chandon-de-briailles.oembed","provider":"La Cave de French Theory","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
