Intensity
An authentic and complex Pinot Noir perfectly reflecting the most beautiful qualities of the Chambolle-Musigny terroir.
More infoReputed as one of the oldest grape varieties, Pinot Noir is now inseparable from the finest Burgundy wines. Domaine Bruno Clair cultivates this grape variety in plots that benefit from ideal east and south-east exposure. The vines, planted between 1946 and 1980, grow on clay-limestone soils at an altitude of 260 metres. The hand-harvested grapes, comprising 30–50% whole bunches, macerate for around ten days in wooden vats. Lastly, the cuvée is aged for 20 months in oak casks, of which 30% are new.
The ruby-red colour reveals an intense bouquet of harmonious fragrances of red fruit. The supple and complex mouthfeel displays a perfect balance of silky tannins and fruity aromas, leading to a deliciously long finish. This cuvée promises excellent ageing potential.

About the Producer Bruno Clair
Bruno Clair is the grandson of Joseph Clair (from Domaine Clair Daü). He founded his own domain in 1979 in Marsannay before later inheriting some of the parcels from his grandfather's domain. The estate is thus made up of myriad, high-quality parcels, notably in Gevrey-Chambertin and Morey-Saint-Denis where some of the appellation's most prized vines are grown, both in red and white. Bruno Clair also cares for vineyards in Pernand-Vergelesses, Aloxe-Corton, and Fixin.
Excellent maturation and precise vinifications help to best express these magnificent terroirs. The wines made here are very precise and fine, with no lack of elegance or intensity.
This range is broad and varied; the rosé and Bourgogne blanc cuvées will go nicely at an aperitif, whilst the grands and premiers crus can be served with your very best recipes after a few years in the cellar.
