The Aux Fornaux parcel is located within the municipality of Savigny les Beaune, classified Premier Cru only in the upper part of the vineyard which enjoys a special microclimate at a height of 263 meters planted largely with Pinot Noir. They own 1.68 hectares in the lower part in this case with which they produce no more than a few thousand bottles, their vines are quite old all facing east where the soils here are well drained red clay with the presence of iron. Manual harvest with the grapes that are spontaneously vinified in whole bunches in wooden vats for several days with the aid of punching down and pumping over, aging is done in barriques for 18-24 months and bottled with little addition of sulfur dioxide. You get a wine with deep tones and red berry aromas, when young it shows beautiful silky tannins enriching a whole of great finesse but which over the years will prove to be more mature.

Description

Burgundy turns out to be the homeland of great whites and reds, especially in the Cote d’Or, the area where Pinot Noir and Chardonnay draw their maximum world expression, the area where the most prestigious Crus reside with different results from parcel by parcel. The Chandon de Briailles company has been located in Savigny lès Beaune, in the Côte de Beaune since 1834, bears the name of the countess who founded the Domaine, in turn related to the Moet et Chandon family, who decided to start the cultivation of the vine in their possessions. Eight generations followed in the decades until 1982 when the descendant Nadine de Nicolay took the lead and bottled for the first time and made a drastic change in the treatment of the land by abandoning the use of chemicals. Since 2001 the company has been managed by his sons Claude and Francois de Nicolay (the first ran a wine laboratory and the second a wine shop in Paris) but the latter after a meeting with the Leflaive family understood the importance of working in biodynamics to maintain a vineyard and obtain a healthy wine with the original characteristics. The entire philosophy is founded on maximum environmental respect with multiple certifications, an imprint that has enhanced their most renowned Premier and Grand Cru parcels (Les Lavieres, Clos du Roi, Maréchaudes) distributed in some famous AOCs such as Pernand-Vergelesses, Aloxe -Corton and Savigny les Beaune for a total of 13.5 hectares of Pinot Noir and Chardonnay vines. Precise in the work in the vineyards with only towed horses, parcel harvests scheduled for different climatic conditions and meticulous selection of the bunches, in the cellar we prefer wooden tanks with controlled spontaneous fermentation using the whole bunch, the refinements carried out in small barrels and the absence of filtration and clarification before bottling. Great example in the world of Vin naturelle.
