About this wine
Marsannay is where Bruno Clair's family story began, and the domaine bottles several of its lieux-dits separately, La Charme aux Prêtres among them: Pinot Noir on the limestone and clay of the northern Côte, farmed sustainably, hand-harvested, destemmed according to the vintage, fermented with native yeasts and aged about fifteen months in barrel with a modest share of new oak. 2020 was an early, concentrated vintage that kept its freshness in the north of the Côte.
Expect dark cherry and blackberry, violet, a hint of clove, a stony, savoury core, firm but polished tannins and a long finish. Drink from 2026 to 2035 with duck, roast lamb or a coq au vin.
About Domaine Bruno Clair
Domaine Bruno Clair, in Marsannay, is the northern gate of the Côte de Nuits. Bruno Clair rebuilt his family's holdings from 1979, after the split of the historic Clair-Daü estate, and now farms around 25 hectares from Marsannay to Gevrey-Chambertin, Chambolle and Morey, including Clos de Bèze, Clos Saint-Jacques and the monopole Clos du Fonteny. The Marsannay lieux-dits, Longeroies, Grasses Têtes, Vaudenelles and La Charme aux Prêtres, are where the domaine's philosophy shows best: sustainable farming, destemming judged by vintage, moderate new oak, and Pinot Noir of clarity and structure at prices that still make sense.
