2020 | Domaine Bruno Clair | Corton-Charlemagne

An ultra-fresh, cool and restrained nose combines notes of just sliced green apple, lemon-lime, white flowers and a whiff of mineral reduction.

Reviews:

• Jasper Morris: Pale colour, very classy nose here showing all the different aspects of Corton Charlemagne by which I mean the flesh, the ripe fruit with a banana touch and especially the minerals, accompanied by their lemon scent. This absolutely shows all those features.

• Burghound: An ultra-fresh, cool and restrained nose combines notes of just sliced green apple, lemon-lime, white flowers and a whiff of mineral reduction. There is again excellent tension to the tautly muscular if not super-dense medium weight flavors that culminate in a firmly mineral-driven, moderately austere, linear and youthfully austere finale.

Producer Information

Domaine Bruno Clair is a well-regarded Burgundy producer with vineyards across the Côte de Nuits and the Côte de Beaune. The majority of its wines are made from Pinot Noir, but it also makes Chardonnay and Aligoté covering the gamut of regional designations from Bourgogne and villages to premier and grand cru. Its most highly regarded sites are in the grand cru vineyards of Bonnes-Mares, Corton-Charlemagne and Chambertin-Clos-de-Bèze. Named for its founder, Bruno Clair was established in 1979 with plots in Marsannay, Fixin, Savigny-les-Beaune and Morey-Saint-Denis. Bruno is the grandson of Bernard Clair, who established highly regarded Burgundy estate Domaine Clair-Daü in 1919. After Bernard died in the late 1970s, there was conflict over how to divide the estate but, in the 1980s, Bruno took on several more family vineyards including ones in esteemed villages such as Gevrey-Chambertin, Vosne-Romanée and Chambolle-Musigny. The purchase of additional vineyards in the 1990s brought the domaine to 23 hectares (57 acres). All the fruit is hand-harvested and organic practices are followed, though none of the vineyards have third-party certifications. Chemical fertilizers are avoided, but the option for their use remains if necessary.
