Many argue that le des Vergelesses should be classified as a Grand Cru. Its true that in the best years, with its eastern exposure and mid-slope location, it behaves as a Grand Cru. Chandon de Briailles has a healthy three hectares planted to pinot noir, located in an area with a nice slope, and a good mix of clay and limestone. Ile is steeper than Les Vergelesses so the vines struggle more, giving the wine more complexity. It has more tension, cherry fruit and bright acidity. Its safe to say that le along with Bressandes are the flagship wines of the domaine. 80% whole cluster. – Bowler
