Domaine Bruno CLAIR (Marsannay) -- 2017 Tasted from Barrel Samples


In the competitive world of Gevrey-Chambertin, Bruno Clair is one of the long-time references, and this trio shows very good results.

2017 Gevrey-Chambertin    1er Cru   Cazetiers
This is outstanding, and possibly even great, Gevrey-Cazetiers. The wine is mineral and pure with very good depth. (92-95)

2017 Gevrey-Chambertin    1er Cru   Clos Saint-Jacques
The Gevrey-Clos St-Jacques has very good precision and freshness to its dark fruits, along with depth and energy. (93-95)

2017 Chambertin-Clos de Bèze
On the day that I tasted, the Chambertin-Clos de Bèze was surprisingly slightly less impressive. It showed red and dark fruits with freshness and salinity, but was not as precise as the two preceding wines. (92-94)
