Information
About the producer

Domaine Bruno Clavelier has been located in Vosne-Romanée since the end of the 18th century. Formerly a trading house of the same name, managed by another branch of the family, the house sold the wines of the domaine but was was sold in 1991. Bruno Clavelier decided therefore to abandon his career as a rugby player to devote himself to the few remaining plots and to bottle his own wine. He was initially helped by his Burgundy grandfather, Joseph and joined by his wife Valėrie in 2003. Bruno Clavelier subsequently increased his domaine to 6 hectares (with plots acquired in Vosne-Romanée, Corton, Nuits- Saint-Georges and also Chambolle-Musigny) and converted the domaine to organic farming. Some old vineyards of the domaine were planted between 1930 and 1940. Bruno Clavelier produces about fifteen excellent cuvées. It is an exceptional example, and starting to become well-known amongst lovers of great Burgundy wines.

About the wine

This Corton grand cru comes from a 3,400 square-metre parcel. The Pinot noir grown here is between 35 and 70 years old and enjoys an ideal location on a slope 280 metres high. Domaine Bruno Clavelier took up the parcel in 1999 and carried out thorough work on the soil so that the roots could push deep for their nutrients. This soil is rich in chalk and marl.
Biodynamic methods are used and the domain has organic certification.
Harvested by hand, the grapes are then vinified in open, cone-shaped, oak vats. The proportion of whole bunches used depends on the vintage. Wild yeasts start off the fermentation and some stirring is carried out. The wine is matured in oak casks for a year and a half. It is then bottled without fining or filtering and with neutral gas to limit the need for sulphur. Bottling takes place according to the lunar calendar.
This cuvée is perfectly balanced with both velvety tannins and a fine acidity. Ample, it lingers on the palate. It will pair nicely with a generous dish like tender poultry or a sweet potato mash.
