CHANDON DE BRIAILLES

Pernand-Vergelesses Ile des Vergelesses 2010

90 points | $56 | 718 cases made | Red

There's purity here, from the cherry and berry flavors to the

pristine balance between the elements. Linear and firm, with an

aftertaste of spice and mineral. Drink now through 2022.—B.S.


CHANDON DE BRIAILLES

Pernand-Vergelesses Les Vergelesses 2010

90 points | $46 | 160 cases made | Red

The cherry, sandalwood and herb flavors are soft in this broad red,

showing structure in the form of acidity and light tannins, staying

long and powerful on the finish. Drink now through 2020.—B.S.


CHANDON DE BRIAILLES

Savigny-lès-Beaune Les Lavières 2010

91 points | $50 | 430 cases made | Red

Tight and linear, with a coil of strawberry, raspberry and herb flavors fused to a steely structure. Slightly austere, offering a long finish and a mouthwatering impression. Best from 2015 through 2025.—B.S.
