In Domaine Chandon de Briailles, there is ... Chandon, which is reminiscent of Moët & Chandon! This is normal, historically it belonged to the Countess Chandon de Briailles who was related to the famous champagne house Moët & Chandon.

The family estate has existed since 1834. Located a few kilometers from Beaune, it has 13.7 hectares spread over three appellations: Savigny-Lès-Beaune, Pernand-Vergelesses and Aloxe-Corton.

50,000 bottles are produced there per year, 60% of which are exported to Japan, Korea, United Kingdom, Australia, United States, Canada ... among others.

The remaining 40% in France adorn the most beautiful tables of French gastronomy such as Le Petit Nice, Guy Savoy or even Pierre Gagnaire's restaurant to name a few (many of which have been featured in Top Chef;)) and some good wine merchants.

The estate is part of the "Domaines Familiaux de Tradition" association, which includes 28 of the most famous estates in Burgundy.
