Having cemented Marsannay as a source of serious and ageworthy wines that offer great value, Domaine Bruno Clair’s classically-styled white and red Burgundies are now scaling the quality ladder under the next generation.
Bruno started his domaine in 1979 with smallholdings in Marsannay, Fixin, and Savigny-lès-Beaune. Following the break-up of his family’s now-cult Clair-Daü estate in the 1980s, Bruno was entrusted with an impressive array of vineyards across some of the most prized appellations in the Côte de Nuits, including Grands Crus Chambertin-Clos de Bèze and Bonnes-Mares.
Since coming under the care of Bruno’s sons Arthur and Edouard and daughter Margaux, the 23ha Clair estate has recently been transformed with the introduction of organic farming, stricter yields, and the use of cover crops between the vines, as well as whole-cluster fermentations in the winery.
