Character
A wine of restraint and elegance that expresses its origin without ostentation and shines at the table.
Pairing

Notes
Vinification with a proportion of whole bunches and measured ageing in barriques ensure a transparent, unadorned style and excellent ageing potential.
Tasting note
Character
A Burgundy of quiet elegance that does not flaunt opulence, but rather convinces with clarity and structure. The fruit is juicy and pure, supported by a subtle bitterness and that taut, saline line which defines the house style. Slender in build yet profound – a wine that shines at the table and rewards patience.
Terroir & Origin
Aloxe-Corton lies at the foot of the famous Corton hill in the Côte de Nuits, where Pinot Noir has found its noblest expressions for centuries. Domaine Bruno Clair cultivates 27 hectares across eight villages of the Côte d’Or and draws on decades of experience here – the legacy of Clair-Daü, once one of the region’s most significant estates, lives on in every cask.
Grape variety & Vinification
Pinot Noir, the great red grape of Burgundy, demands restraint in the cellar. At Bruno Clair, wild fermentation is standard practice, extraction remains gentle, and whole bunches are partially included in the fermenter. Maturation takes place over 18 to 20 months in barriques with a moderate proportion of new wood. The result: wines without artifice, transparent and age-worthy.
Food recommendations
The taut structure and fine tannin profile call for dishes with substance but without heaviness: duck breast with cherries, saddle of venison, coq au vin or simply mushroom risotto. Also an excellent match with Comté or a mild Époisses.
