Left Cote de Nuits

Domaine Bruno Clair is now considered part of Burgundy's top tier. This wasn't always the case, but Bruno has worked tirelessly over the past 3 decades to build and rebuild the domaine he inherited from his grandparents.

Joseph Clair and Marguerite Dau founded the Domaine Clair-Dau almost 100 years ago. Starting with a few vineyards that Marguerite's family had, they purchased and rejuvenated some of the best parcels in the Cote d'Or and by the time of Joseph's passing in 1971 had built one of the greatest Domaines in Burgundy. Unfortunately family infighting led to neglect in the vineyards and the domaine was spilt up.

Bruno eventually inherited about half of the original holdings. He reclaimed some of the best parcels when their leases ended and slowly added his own acquisitions as well. His meticulous focus on quality in the vineyards (he's practiced organic viticulture for years) has finally been rewarded with the attention and accolades he deserves.

Together with winemaker Philippe Brun, Bruno now makes wines from very old vines in some of the best plots throughout the Cote d'Or. The secret to their success isn't a secret at all: Bruno farms the very best grapes he can and Philippe uses a very gentle winemaking approach to coax the purest expression of terroir out of every vineyard.

Professional Reviews

Burghound

BH 93
"Here the nose is deeply pitched and overtly Gevrey in character with its assortment of plum, underbrush, freshly turned earth and forest floor nuances on the wild dark berry scents. There is outstanding density to the powerful and serious mineral-inflected big-bodied flavors that brim with dry extract on the superbly long and complex finish. This is terrific but I underscore that doesn’t mean it’s going to necessarily drink well in its youth."

Antonio Galloni

"The 2015 Gevrey-Chambertin Les Cazetiers 1er Cru has a gleaming bouquet with transparent red cherry and white-tipped strawberries that contain such brightness and vivacity. There's wonderful mineralité both aromatically and on the palate, where one finds filigree tannins. Irresistibly pure and elegant. Arthur Clair told me that when he made this wine at the beginning of his career, his father, Bruno, quipped that he had made a Rosé, due to its pallid hue. Well, just goes to show!" -Neal Martin

Robert Parker

RP 94
"The 2015 Gevrey-Chambertin 1er Cru Les Cazetiers has a very expressive bouquet with plenty of redcurrant, cranberry and crushed strawberry scents, interwoven with dried rose petal and orange blossom aromas. The palate is medium-bodied with supple tannin, compact red cherry and strawberry fruit and a lovely spicy, almost Oriental note towards the structured finish. There is a lot going on in this Gevrey-Chambertin - totally absorbing and ethereal." -Neal Martin

Decanter

D 94
"Firm, oaky red fruit nose. Rich attack, flamboyant and concentrated, with very ripe tannins and a silky grip. There's good underlying acidity to give finesse and persistence."
