Marsannay is one of Burgundy's hidden gems. This is the Golden Gate in Côte de Nuits. Domaine Bruno Clair played a key role in the rise of Marsanne by landing Pinot Noir in this appellation. It is hard to find a place in Burgundy whose wines have improved so much in terms of quality over the last couple of decades. Today, the domain owns many special sites with old vines, in particular the Clos de Bèze and Bonnes-Mares Grand Cru.
One of the advantages of Domaine Bruno Clair is the stability of the wine style, which has been preserved for decades thanks to the direct involvement of the founder of the domaine. Bruno Clair owns the legendary grand cru Clos de Bèze and Bonnes-Mares, but Bruno is particularly proud of the wines of Marsanne. This is the northernmost commune of the Côte d'Or, which was in decline until the 1980s - the vintners survived by supplying the city of Dijon with cheap Gamay wines. As a result, Marsanne did not get its communal appellation and until 1987 the wines were sold as basic Burgundy. The Clairs played an important role in the rise of Marsanne. Joseph Clair, Bruno's grandfather, was the first to plant pinot noir here, despite the economic situation, and thanks to this the commune was able to make a qualitative leap. Bruno himself is convinced that there is no other place in Burgundy whose wines have improved so much in terms of quality over the last thirty years.
