The Winery

Bruno Clavelier

Domaine Bruno Clavelier is an estate located in a small commune of Vosne-Romanée in the Côte de Nuits district of Burgundy. In the late 1980s after a successful rugby career, Bruno Clavelier took over from his grandfather introducing a purist approach to winemaking—introducing biodynamic farming practices and has since achieved organic certification. Domaine Bruno Clavelier’s vineyards spread along Côte de Nuits from its only Grand Cru wine, Corton Le Rognet, to its Premier Cru wines from Gevrey-Chambertin, Chambolle-Musigny, Vosne-Romanée, and Nuits Saint Georges. The Domaine’s mission is to capture the terroir of each plot and the climate of each vintage when producing its Burgundian wines.

Tasting Notes

WA93–95
The 2016 Vosne-Romanée 1er Cru Aux Brûlées Vieilles Vignes comes from vines planted just after the Second World War. It has a potent bouquet with a mixture of black and red fruit, a slight tinniness suggesting a touch of reduction at the moment, yet it is still very well defined and focused. The palate is well balanced with tannins that gently but insistently grip the mouth. It is deceptively approachable on the entry, the structure more perceptible toward the mineral-rich finish. It does not possess the persistence of say, a Les Suchots or Malconsorts, but this is more concerned with precision and tension. What a great wine from Bruno.
