François de Nicolay

Francois de Nicolay is best known for steering the historic Domaine Chandon de Briailles, but under his own name he runs a small negociant project chasing the purest possible expression of Burgundy.

Born in 1970, Francois de Nicolay returned to his family's Savigny-les-Beaune estate, Chandon de Briailles, in 2001 after running a wine shop in Paris and traveling widely. He took the reins alongside his sister Claude. Convinced by the benefits of biodynamics he saw at the family domaine, he started his own negociant label around 2000 to make naturally crafted Burgundy from bought-in fruit.
