Marsannay Les Vaudenelles Bruno Clair (Domaine) 2018

The wine

The mythic Domaine Bruno Clair is the name behind by this fleshy and incomparably silky wine. Its depth and round tannins are complemented by notes of small black fruits. Sustainable viticulture and vinification in oak vats, followed by an elevage in oak fûts (20% new oak) which gives this wine excellent ageing potential and makes it the ideal pairing for characterful dishes such as game or roasted meats.

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.
