Domaine Bruno Clair

Bruno Clair founded the wine estate that bears his name in 1979. A few plots of land in Marsannay and Fixin, La Dominode in Savigny-les-Beaune and a large plot of fallow land in Morey-Saint-Denis in a place called ¨En la rue de Vergy¨ formed the core of the fledgling operation. In 1986, Bruno Clair is entrusted with the vines of his siblings (Clos de Bèze, Cazetiers, Clos St-Jacques, Vosne-Romanée, Clos du Fonteny, Chambolle-Musigny). New vines were added to the estate in 1993 (Corton-Charlemagne, Pernand-Vergelesses and Aloxe-Corton) and 1996 (Gevrey-Chambertin Petite Chapelle), bringing the total area under vine to Domaine Bruno Clair to over 23 hectares.

Bruno Clair follows a rigorous selection of the best Pinot Noir and Chardonnay vines, cultivated using the "lutte raisonnée" method: no chemical fertilizers, only compost, ploughing and scrubbing for most of the vines, except on the upper slopes, which are too vulnerable to erosion. Harvesting is carried out by hand throughout the estate, and the grapes are ruthlessly sorted in the vineyard. Vinification and ageing (on fine lees) are carried out with the greatest respect for the grape and its expression.
