Domaine Chandon de Brailles has been owned by the Count and Countess Aymard-Claude de Nicolay and their children since 1834. The estate was inherited from the Count's grandmother, Countess Chandon de Brailles who is related to the Champagne estate Moët et Chandon.  The wine maker is Jean-Claude Bouveret. Over the years the Domaine goal has been for less, but better fruit and a character more representative of the terroir.  Plowing and hoeing has been instituted instead of hernicides and composting reduced to a minimum with more rigorous pruning..  When replanting, selection massale is generally the rule instead of cloning.
