Domaine Bruno Clair's regional and village red wines represent a masterclass in the resurrection of Marsannay and the northern Côte de Nuits. Historically, Marsannay was overlooked or primarily associated with rosé, but the Clair family—starting with Bruno's grandfather, Joseph Clair of the legendary Domaine Clair-Daü—championed the serious potential of its Pinot Noir. This red cuvée is crafted from sustainably farmed vineyards rooted in classic clay-limestone soils. Winemaker Philippe Brun employs traditional Burgundian techniques, including hand-harvesting, partial destemming depending on the vintage, and gentle extraction. The wine is aged in French oak casks (with a very low percentage of new oak) to preserve its vibrant, crunchy red berry profile, subtle earthy minerality, and elegant structure, reflecting a proud family legacy of minimal-intervention winemaking.
