Chandon de Briailles Savigny-Les-Beaune Les Lavieres 1er Cru Red 2014
This wine classified as a 1er Cru comes from the finest part of the Savigny-Lès-Beaune appellation. Lavières comes from the word lava, which was the term used in the past to describe the limestone found everywhere in the soil where the vines of this 1er Cru are planted and which were used in particular to cover roofs.
It is a very elegant red wine, with a fine and precise structure expressing a strong minerality, giving it over the years a great aromatic complexity (floral aromas, violet, touch of liquorice). Slightly smoky and flint, it has great persistence in the mouth. The 2014 vintage was tricky due to an early flowering halted by a violent cold snap followed by hail at the end of June over the entire vineyard from Meursault to Corton. The harvest was halved but of very good quality, with freshness and ripeness.
Owned by the same family since 1834, Domaine Chandon de Briailles produces great Burgundy wines, wines for laying down with a lot of freshness and a fully biodynamic culture.
