Domaine de Chandon produced only 10 hectoliters per hectare in 2013, as 85% of their vineyards were damaged by hail. “The wines are not dry but they’re strict and austere,” said Claude de Nicolay. “We’ll need to wait to drink them but they have a lot of potential.” She admitted that they were best suited to serious collectors, not casual Burgundy drinkers.

Chandon de Briailles was hard-hit by hail in 2013, with 80% of the estate's parcels affected and production limited to just 50 barrels, as compared to a normal 200. "Only the grand crus were untouched by hail," said Claude de Nicolay, "and their yields were almost normal at around 25 hectoliters per hectare." But production in Savigny-lès-Beaune and Pernand was closer to 10 hectoliters per hectare, she added. "The skins were thick and we knew we had enough tannins, so we did a very gentle extraction and more destemming than usual," said Claude, who runs this domain with her brother François. Acidity levels were relatively high in 2013, according to Claude, and the cellar was being heated in November to finish the last of the malolactic fermentations. The samples I tasted were from barrels that had completed their malos, some of them recently.
