♥ Once again there is a lovely freshness to the cool and pure aromas of red currant, anise, violet and soft earth scents. The wonderfully sleek, intense and delineated middle weight flavors brim with minerality that also suffuses the youthfully austere and built-to-age finish. This is going to need at least some patience and it should be well-worth the wait. 90-92 -AM

Domaine Bruno Clair is now considered part of Burgundy's top tier. This wasn't always the case, but Bruno has worked tirelessly over the past 3 decades to build and re-build the domaine he inherited from his grandparents.

Joseph Clair and Marguerite Dau founded the Domaine Clair-Dau almost 100 years ago. Starting with a few vineyards that Marguerite's family had, they purchased and rejuvenated some of the best parcels in the Cote d'Or and by the time of Joseph's passing in 1971 had built one of the greatest Domaines in Burgundy. Unfortunately family infighting led to neglect in the vineyards and the domaine was spilt up.

Bruno eventually inherited about half of the original holdings. He reclaimed some of the best parcels when their leases ended and slowly added his own acquisitions as well. His meticulous focus on quality in the vineyards (he's practiced organic viticulture for years) has finally been rewarded with the attention and accolades he deserves.

Together with winemaker Philippe Brun, Bruno now makes wines from very old vines in some of the best plots throughout the Cote d'Or. The secret to their success isn't a secret at all: Bruno farms the very best grapes he can and Philippe uses a very gentle winemaking approach to coax the purest expression of terroir out of every vineyard.

"The Clair holding is mostly in the well-regarded Bas de Longeroies. Half of the vines are a century old and 30% of the fruit was fermented as whole clusters, before ageing two winters in cask (some new). The result is not your typical Marsannay, with lovely, ripe, forward red cherry fruit and plenty of aromatic depth. The structure of the wine is compact and firm, yet there is also great elegance and finesse. Fresh, lively and pure."

Burgundy has long been the world's most famous wine region. But, underneath all the prestige, this region can be hard to get to know.

While Burgundy offers many great trophies from top producers in well-known villages like Vosne Romanee and Puligny Montrachet, it also offers excellent values to anyone willing to explore beyond the famous names. Our collection– one of the largest in the U.S. – has plenty of both!

From the very basics of Burgundy's regions and wines to the specific terroirs of individual single vineyards--
