Discreet wood frames the relatively high-toned aromas of various red berries along with a plentitude of floral and spice wisps along with a hint of fresh tobacco. There is outstanding power and mouth coating dry extract present on the broad-shouldered flavors that deliver superb depth and flat-out remarkable length. This beauty is however quite firmly structured so ample patience is strongly suggested. 95 -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 2019 Bonnes-Mares Grand Cru has a rich and generous bouquet with blueberry and black cherry aromas, the most extravagant of Bruno Clair’s wines this year. The palate is medium-bodied with fine grain tannins, very poised and focused with a mineral-driven finish that lingers in the mouth. Lovely strictness on the finish counterbalances the precocity on the nose." -Vinous

"Most of Bruno Clair's large parcel of Bonnes-Mares is planted to old vines that stretch from the bottom of the slope to the top in Morey-Saint-Denis. This produces a wine with more weight than the perfumed Chambolle side of the vineyard, with a profoundly rich black plum and mulberry fruit that opens with time to show spice, mineral and saline notes. The initial impression is so velvety that only with time does one notice the massive tannic structure here."

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--
everything you need to know about Bourgogne is just a click away!
