bruno clair bonnes mares 2019

bruno clair is the grandson of joseph clair (of the famous clair daü estate). he founded his estate in 1979 in marsannay and subsequently inherited some of his grandfather's parcels. the vineyard is thus made up of a myriad of very high quality plots, notably in gevrey-chambertin and morey-saint-denis where the wines are among the most prized in the appellation, whether in white or red. bruno clair has also acquired new plots in the communes of pernand-vergelesses, aloxe-corton and fixin. take a look: bonnes mares, clos de bèze, corton-charlemagne...the quality of the maturation and the precision of the vinification allow to reveal these magnificent terroirs at their best. the wines of the estate are thus very precise and fine and do not lack elegance and intensity. the palette is wide and varied, the rosé and white burgundy will accompany your finest tapas, while the first and great vintages will sublimate your greatest receptions and best recipes, after a few years in the cellar. this is definitely a domain at the top of burgundy. it is one of the most renowned grands crus in burgundy. it is on the border of morey-saint-denis and chambolle-musigny. it extends over 15 hectares of vines... it is... the bonnes mares grand cru! another rarity that the bruno clair estate also owns, on the morey-saint-denis side, just next to the clos de tart! the soil is white clayey marl, which allows the pinot noir to express all its complexity and finesse. once harvested, the grapes are partially destemmed before the indigenous yeasts naturally start the fermentation process at low temperature. the wine is then aged for 16 to 22 months, depending on the vintage, in burgundy oak barrels on fine lees. the estate's bonnes-mares displays floral (violet) and fruity (plum, red fruit) aromas. the nuances of red fruits (raspberry, blackcurrant) are found in the mouth, accompanied by sweet spices.
