✨ Technical Specifications
The Marsannay Rosé from Domaine Bruno Clair holds a legendary status in Burgundy, deeply intertwined with the history of the Clair family. In 1919, Bruno's grandfather, Joseph Clair, created this serious, Pinot Noir-based rosé to help revitalize the village of Marsannay-la-Côte following the devastation of World War I and phylloxera. This innovation eventually led to Marsannay becoming the only village-level appellation in Burgundy authorized to produce rosé. Crafted with the same meticulous care as the estate's grandest reds, this wine is produced using a combination of direct pressing and the saignée method, followed by fermentation and aging in stainless steel and foudres. The result is a gastronomic rosé of exceptional depth, characterized by vibrant wild strawberry, redcurrant, and chalky mineral complexity derived from the region's limestone-rich soils.
🍾 About the Producer
Domaine Bruno Clair was founded in 1979 by Bruno Clair, carrying forward the illustrious winemaking legacy of his grandfather, Joseph Clair, who established the famed Domaine Clair-Daü in 1919. Headquartered in Marsannay-la-Côte at the northern tip of the Côte de Nuits, the estate expanded significantly in the 1980s through the reintegration of prime family holdings across prestigious Burgundy appellations. Practicing meticulous, sustainable viticulture with organic principles and thoughtful cellar practices, the domaine prioritizes purity, precision, and terroir transparency across red, white, and rosé bottlings. Domaine Bruno Clair is celebrated worldwide for its elegant, age-worthy Pinot Noir—most notably its benchmark Bonnes-Mares Grand Cru and single-vineyard Marsannay expressions—alongside nuanced, mineral-driven Chardonnays and Aligoté.
