Pretty red fruit –wild raspberries - atop a smoky kirsch nose. The chalky core is present on the palate – tense tannins and concentrated broad fruit. Very nice bit will need lots of time. A long finish, lifted andmenthol, vinifiedwith 50%whole bunches in 20%newoak.

MEET THE GROWER Domaine Chandon De Brialles SAVIGNY-LES-BEAUNE

—NEALMARTIN

This elegant, family-run biodynamic estate of 13.7 hectares is 4 kilometres north-west of Beaune. Vineyard holdings extend equally amongst Aloxe-Corton, Pernand-Vergelesses and Savigny-les-Beaune, and they are unique inmaking the only Corton Grand Cru Blanc in the region. Claude de Nicolay and her brother François run the estate, with their Aussie wine- maker Christian Knott verymuch in tune with their philosophy. Even their corks are organic and treated with beeswax, and horses now plough all their plots. Wine style here is always focused on finesse, with each vineyard vividly expressing its individual character. There are three exceptional Grand Cru Cortons and for me, the Savigny-les-Beaune, 1er Cru Lavières is always a pleasure. We are delighted to offer their wines.
