Left Pinot Noir

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 91
"As is usually the case chez Clair, this is the most interesting and complete of his Marsannay cuvées with its well-layered nose of red cherry, violet, spice and subtle wood nuances. There is both good minerality and detail to the energetic medium-bodied flavors that are shaped by moderately firm tannins on the balanced and dusty finale. This too will require at least a few years of bottle age first as the tannins are prominent."

Antonio Galloni

AG 91
"Medium red. Ripe, subtly complex aromas of raspberry, strawberry and chocolate, plus a note of red licorice. Suave, fresh and minerally, conveying an impression of thickness leavened by lively acidity. Very good calcaire energy and inner-mouth tension here. FInishes with rather suave tannins, an earthy touch and very good length." -Stephen Tanzer

Robert Parker

RP 92
"The 2015 Marsannay Les Longeroies offers enticing aromas of redcurrant juice, cranberry and cold stone on the nose that is well defined and complex. The palate is very well balanced with crisp acidity, well-integrated oak, fine depth towards the sorbet-fresh finish. Hints of orange sorbet linger on the aftertaste, completing a quite delicious Marsannay, the best produced by Bruno this year." -Neal Martin

Decanter

D 90
"Discreet raspberry and cherry nose that has some force. Quite rich, with more body and weight than other Marsannays. Textured and firm with robust tannins. Vivid and lively on the finish. Quite spicy and long."
