François de Nicolay is a well respected producer in Savigny-Les-Beaune, Burgundy. Currently managing the Chandon des Briailles estate with his sister Claude, François is a pioneer of sustainability in the region, being the first to use alternative treatments such as milk to treat powdery mildew. Recently Nicolas began his own négoce project, which sources organic and biodynamic fruit from trusted and reputable growers.

This is François' ancestral method fizz produced using 100% Aligote from 30 year old vines, matured for 8 months in stainless steel. Aromas of apricots, ripe citrus, white flowers and a hint of honey. It's refreshing with a lovely length and roundness on the palate.
