A Note on Vintages:
The majority of this offer consists of wines from the 2019 vintage, however some of our producers release
their wines a year later than most. Therefore you will notice that various producers throughout this offer
will have wines from the 2017 & 2018 vintages.

Chablis

Domaine Pinson Freres

This estate has long been known for classic 1er Cru and Grand Cru Chablis of concentration and complexity,
traditional in style. Now under the direction of brothers Laurent and Christophe Pinson, a purer, more
refined style is emerging...but without sacrificing any of the inherent richness that has always
characterised Pinson wines.
The main work is of course conducted in the vineyard, where old vines and controlled yields give grapes
of superior quality. The expanded cellars allow careful vinification and ageing, with extended ageing on
the lees and limited use of oak barrels for maturation. New oak however is not sought as a flavouring -
none whatsoever for the1er Crus - and even the Grand Cru only sees 10% new wood. Laurent's daughter
Charlene has recently joined the Domaine having studied oenology at wine school in Beaune.

Beaujolais & Maconnais
Jules Desjourneys

Domaine Jules Desjourneys is relatively new to the wine scene, having started producing reds in only 2007.
Fabien Duperray has a long association with top Burgundian Domaines, distributing the wines of DRC, Coche
Dury and Arnaud Ente, amongst others. This has allowed Fabien to begin his own estate producing wines
organically and biodynamically. From hand ploughing the vineyards to foot-treading the grapes, every
aspect is practiced as naturally as possible. He uses the finest corks and bottles and hand dips each bottle
in protective wax in a bid to make the most stable and well-preserved wine.
The red wines are made with 100% whole bunch, receive no oak treatment and undergo 7 days maceration
to avoid too much tannins.
The white wines are all vinified in steel and glass tanks with the exception of two, Pouilly-Fuisse and
Pouilly-Fuisse Vignes Blanches. These two whites are produced in a similar method to the wines of Domaine
Coche-Dury.
Fabien has made a name for himself as one to watch in Beaujolais, many consider him the biggest threat
to the regions ‘Famous Five’ and that he is well on his way to achieving ‘Iconic & Cult’ Status.

Les Heritiers du Comte Lafon

Prior to 2000 Dominique saw the potential in the underrated vineyards of the Maconnais. He identified
ideal terroir for growing Chardonnay and in 1999 created a new winery, Les Heritiers du Comte Lafon. Each
wine reflects a different expression of its soil, ranging from the easy-going Macon Villages via Macon Milly-
Lamartine, Macon-Chardonnay Clos de la Crochette, Macon Uchizy en Maranches to the steely, mineral
Macon Bussieres. From 2009 they have contracted to farm the vineyards of the Château de Vire with the
appellation Vire-Clesse. The vineyards are farmed biodynamically with low yields and hand harvesting.
Today these wines enjoy huge success around the world for great Burgundy at fair prices.

Cote de Beaune

Domaine Boris Champy
The former technical director of Louis Latour and former manager of the Clos des Lambrays estate in Morey
St Denis takes over a pioneering project in biodynamics.
A 12 hectare estate mainly located in the Hautes-Côtes de Beaune.

“After I left Lambrays, I walked along the Camino route to Compostela. When I thought about it, I realized
that the best for me would be to work for myself, confides Boris Champy. A wish fulfilled today. Last year
a friend from Nantoux, Hautes-Côtes de Beaune, put him in touch with Didier Montchovet. This pioneer of
biodynamic viticulture (certified since 1984), without a successor in the family, was looking to find an
successor to take on the estate. There was an immediate rapport between the two of them. A smooth
transition then began informally during the 2019 harvest. Today, the transition is now complete and Boris
Champy has settled in the village as close as possible to the 12 hectares of vines.

“I believe in the future of Hautes-Côtes. Together with the neighbouring winemakers, we must continue
to raise the reputation of the wines. My goal will be to highlight the individual parcels (lieux-dits), enhance
the cool microclimates and the other fascinating subtleties of the area. In these hills and valleys, we will
introduce some of the viticultural practices employed in the more prestigious vineyards further north. Our
plots are islands of biodiversity: with the many "clos" diverse trees, hedges, walls and fruit trees ... we
will have a holistic approach. Our goal will be to seek freshness, personality in our wines in a refined and
natural style of winemaking. Explains the winemaker. The Montchovet estate also owns vines in Beaune
Premier Crus and Pommard appellations.
Originally from Champagne the oenologist (graduated in 1996), Boris Champy worked for 10 years in Napa
Valley in California (Dominus, Famille Moueix) before becoming technical director of the Louis Latour house
(Beaune). At 45, he is rooted in Burgundy for what he calls his "ultimate project".

Domaine Marc Morey

The Moreys are one of the major winemaking families in Chassagne-Montrachet, and French inheritance
laws have led to a proliferation of different Morey domaines in the village. Domaine Marc Morey is now run
by Bernard Mollard and his wife Marie-Jo, daughter of the eponymous Marc. This estate is perhaps less
well-known than those of cousins Jean-Marc and Bernard, but it is quietly establishing a reputation as a
fine source of elegant, expertly-made Chassagne. Vineyard holdings are impressively located in top 1er
Cru vineyards, and the Marc Morey portfolio includes a racy, Puligny-styled 'En Virondot' (this is very nearly
a monopole for Domaine Marc Morey) as well as a richer, fatter 'Chenevottes'. Some new oak is used for
ageing, adding to the complexity. While maintaining the true characteristics of Chassagne Montrachet,
these wines, with their fat silky texture, show spicy rich flavours and great length.

Domaine Jean Marc Pillot

Jean-Marc started his career as a winemaker in 1985, and his first vintage was made in the new premises
in the industrial zone close to Chagny in 1991. The Domaine holdings, 90% of which are in the commune of
Chassagne-Montrachet was increased since then from 5 hectares to 11 hectares today, half of which whites
and half reds.
The vineyards are naturally managed. The whites are hand harvested, gently crushed but not destemmed
then pressed. A light setting happens at cold temperature before the wines are moved into barrel for a
slow, long fermentation at 15 degrees centigrade. The barrels are used for three years, with one third new
oak. The wines stay on their lees in the barrels for 12 months and then racked into tanks, where they stay
for additional 6 months before bottling.

Domaine Paul Pillot

Paul Pillot who took over the domaine located in Chassagne-Montrachet in 1968 is the 3rd generation of
this family who started this fine domaine in the beginning of the 20th century.
Over the years he expanded the domaine to the 13 hectares it owns today.
His son, Thierry started working in the domaine in 1999, but got full control only in the 2004 vintage.
His philosophy is common among other young growers in Burgundy these days, mainly understanding that
the wines are actually being made mainly in the vineyards, thus investing hard work in the vineyards. The
wine making approach is natural and straight forward, with minimal use of new wood – resulting in precise,
terroir driven wines.

Maison Henri Boillot

                                          Henri Boillot has inherited the prestigious Domaine Jean Boillot
                                          from his father, giving him 14 hectares of prime vineyard sites in
                                          Volnay and Puligny-Montrachet. But his desire to explore the
                                          potential of a wider range of terroirs has led him to create the
                                          Maison Henri Boillot. This is another example of the new
                                          phenomenon of 'super-négociants' - top winemakers who source
                                          small parcels of the best grapes, and use their expertise to
                                          create a range of truly special wines.
                                          The Puligny "Clos de la Mouchère" is their flagship vineyard. The
                                          Domaine is the sole owner of this superb 4 hectares vineyard.
                                         All the wines are made with inordinate care and attention to
detail. For the whites, hand-picked grapes are sorted, and then pressed pneumatically without prior
destemming. There follows 24 hours of cold temperature settling, before fermentation in barrel (10 to 50%
new, depending on the status of the vineyard). All wines undergo full malolactic conversion, before 12 to
18 months barrel-ageing on the fine lees, with regular batonnage. The wines are bottled after fining and
the lightest of filtrations.
Boillot's sources remain a secret, but his close friendship with many of the Côte de Beaune's top growers
give him access to grapes many winemakers can only dream of. These are vinified in the Domaine Jean
Boillot cellars at Volnay, using state-of-the-art equipment and just the right amount of new oak. The result
is beautifully-made wines, each one the definitive expression of that vineyard's unique personality.
Allen Meadows of Burghound consistently rates Henri Boillot’s whites amongst the highest in Burgundy.

Domaine Benoit Ente

Benoit has steadily evolved to the point where today, he is making wines of incredible purity and balance.
Benoit’s wines are precise and focused with a tension to them that is not unlike a coiled spring waiting to
unfurl. On the palate, his wines do just that and the tightly knit structure detected on the nose is revealed
in layers of complexity.
Benoit uses less than 30% new oak and is trying to interfere as little as possible in the winery. He is known
to pick earlier rather than later in order to preserve the acidity that is vital to the longevity of his wines.
This does not negatively impact the terroir driven, expressive wines that he makes. He has moved to a
longer élevage of 18 months.
Benoit boasts an impressive line-up of vineyard holdings. In Chassagne-Montrachet he has a tiny parcel in
Houillères, a well-situated villages vineyard on the border with Puligny-Montrachet, while in Puligny-
Montrachet, he has an impressive array of vines from villages to the 1er Crus of Truffières, and Folatières.

Domaine des Comtes Lafon

Comte Jules Lafon purchased all of their best plots back in the 19th century, including the piece of Le
Montrachet in 1919 and built the cellar at the Clos de la Barre vineyard. Dominique took over the estate
from his father, Rene in 1984 and since then he's never looked back.
Today the domain consists of nearly 14 hectares of prime Burgundy vineyards, covering 5 villages and 13
appellations. Since 1998 all the vineyards are managed under bio-dynamic cultivation.
Considered to be the amongst the best whites in Burgundy, their wines range from the tense, edgy and
hugely attractive Montrachet to his Meursault wines which demonstrate huge depth and complexity. No
new oak is used for any of the village wines. Varying degrees of oak are used for the 1er crus and 100 % is
used for Le Montrachet. The reds are infinitely stylish and energetic.

Domaine Antoine Jobard

                                             Jobard’s wines are aged in barrel and spend a lengthy period of
                                             time sur lie in their cellars in Meursault. They are amongst the
                                             last to release their white Burgundies on the market every year
                                             due to their unhurried approach to vinification and typically slow
                                             malolactic fermentations. In their youth, these wines are often
                                             tightly wound with an intense mineral structure that only begins
                                             to soften with extended bottle aging. Though François and
                                             Antoine work side by side, Antoine has brought his own signature
                                             to the Domaine: a more sensuous approachability to the wines,
                                             most recently evident in the 2006 and 2007 vintages, which are
                                             delicious and ready to drink immediately. That said, the Jobard
                                             legacy lives on, and the wines will still explode with intense
                                             aromas of honeycomb and stone later in life. If you just can’t
                                             wait, there’s no reason not to uncork. Vines are trained in Guyot
                                             and Royat (50-50). Hand-harvested. Grapes are pressed gently by
                                             pneumatic press, with little to no débourbage (settling of the
                                             must). Both primary and malolactic fermentations are in oak
                                             barrels, only 20% of which are new. No stirring of the lees. Aged
                                             from 20-23 months in barrel (4-5 years old). Finished wines are
                                             bottled unfined and unfiltered.

Benjamin Leroux

Benjamin Leroux is considered by many to be amongst the finest Micro Négociants currently in Burgundy.
Having already created a reputation for himself as the winemaker in Domaine du Comtes Armand, Benjamin
has exceeded all expectations since establishing his own label in 2007.
Although he did not come from a wine making background, his determination was proven when he began
studying in Lycée Viticole de Beaune at the age of 13. He completed his Viticulture Diploma in Dijon,
interning at Domaine du Comte Armand between 1990-1992 while completing his studies. After brief stints
in Oregon and New Zealand Benjamin landed his first serious job in Bordeaux’s Cos d’Estournel. Initially
returning to work for Dominique Lafon he was offered the role of winemaker in Domaine du Comte Armand
in 1998 in time for the 1999 vintage.
His production is very limited, about 60,000 bottles between all of his wines, well over 50 in number.
Benjamin only works with growers who reach a certain standard, only buying fruit, rather than juice, from
a series of growers that he has a long-term relationship with. This gives him greater control in dictating
lower yields, harvest dates, ripeness etc. Some of these growers he actually rents the land off instead of
buying the fruit, allowing him to adopt his biodynamic and organic philosophy. Benjamin is a fan of “over
planting” with some of his plots hosting up to 30,000 vines, where 10,000 would be normal. This comes
from the old style of Burgundian winemaking.
Youthful and expressive when young, his wines show superb structure, are very precise and polished. With
some bottle ageing they gain a bit of complexity yet remain elegant throughout.

Cote de Nuits
Domaine Robert Chevillon

Robert Chevillon undoubtedly makes better wine than virtually any other grower in Nuits-Saint-Georges -
all the critics agree on this. The question is why, and the answer disarmingly straightforward: he doesn't
do anything wrong ! Vines are allowed to grow old, replaced one by one as they die; debudding and green
pruning further limit the crop of these naturally low-yielding vines, ensuring concentration and character.
Each parcel is picked at its own moment of optimum ripeness, even if this means that some vineyards
come in long before others. There are no clever cold-soakings or low temperature fermentations, just a
good, long cuvaison. Both vinification and ageing are directed with an attentive but patient, 'hands-off'
approach. Terroir is not hidden behind a mask of new oak and winemaker-imposed style, so that each
vineyard cuvée has its own unique personality.
The Chaignots and Bousselots show the softer, Vosne-like style found to the north of Nuits; the other 1er
crus are classic Nuits-Saint-Georges - sturdy, masculine, with chewy tannins and hints of rusticity.
Particularly impressive are the Cailles, Vaucrains and Saint-Georges itself, where very old vines have
amplified the concentration and character of these great vineyards. The village cuvée includes all the
young vines from the 1ers Crus, giving it extra complexity.
There have been Chevillons in the district for many generations, but when Robert started working, the
domaine covered only 3 hectares, selling entirely in bulk. He is too modest to admit it, but the fame and
reputation of this estate is virtually all due to Robert's own hard work. He is now joined by his two sons,
Denis and Bertrand, who are hopefully learning just how clever it is to keep things simple.
Chevillon believes in a long, slow vinification, with extraction of colour and tannins during and after
fermentation rather than before. Cuvaisons last 3 to 4 weeks, sometimes longer. Temperatures are allowed
to rise to 35°C before cooling coils are inserted into the vats. Malolactic conversions progress at their own
pace, and the young wines are left on their fine lees for most of the first year. Use of new oak is limited -
25-30% for the 1ers Crus, virtually none for the lesser cuvées. The wines are bottled after 16-18 months,
following a fining and very light filtration.

Domaine Jean-Marc Millot.

Domaine Jean-Marc Millot has been owned by the family for generations although they have only been
estate bottling since 1992. Jean-Marc himself entered the trade in the 1980’s and together with his wife
they secured their esteemed Premier and Grand Cru parcels. The arrival of his daughter, Alix, as winemaker
in 2014 has helped push the Domaine on an upwards trajectory. Alix studied business for 5 years in Lyon,
followed by viticulture for 2 years in Beaune and Oenology for 1 year in Dijon. She believes in keeping the
terroir and fruit in their wines.
There are 8 hectares in total between all their vineyards. They do not use any filtration or fining in their
winemaking, nor do they use racking to reduce sulphates.
In her pursuit to make a purer and more expressive wine Alix experimented with two barrels using 100%
whole bunch and zero sulphites.
It appears that this Domaine is heading towards greatness as Alan Meadows of Burghound has labelled their
wines “The Epitome of Elegance” and Clive Coates has stated that Millot is a “Future Star”
This is a Domaine to watch.
We have miniscule quantities, so you will need to be quick.

Charles Lachaux

Charles Lachaux, who also directs Domaine Arnoux Lachaux, has begun a small negociant operation. The
basic idea behind his approach is to do everything as simply as possible, which is to say harvest ripe fruit
that is not destemmed and vinify it with no sulphur using only natural yeasts.
One to watch.

Domaine Arnoux Lachaux

Charles Lachaux is one of the most exciting young winemakers Burgundy has to offer. From the 2013
vintage, Charles has completely changed the culture at Domaine Arnoux Lachaux. As a result of this cultural
change he is now producing some of Burgundies purest and most forward-thinking wines.
Under the tutelage of the famed Madame Lalou Bize Leroy, Charles has begun arching the vines therefore
not hedging, which in turn increases the photosynthesis and provides the grapes with more energy. As a
result of these practices there is a much smaller yield. Everything is made using 100% whole bunch, zero
sulphur and a very low intervention approach.
From all of these vineyard changes, a clear shift in style has been evident from the 2017 vintage onwards.
It has been noted that Charles’ style is almost reminiscent of his Grandfathers approach to winemaking in
the 1970’s.
These are without a doubt the most thought-provoking wines in Burgundy at the moment.
These are very exciting times at this Domaine as Liv-Ex named Domaine Arnoux Lachaux’s wine within the
Top 100 most important wines in the world and is most definitely a Domaine to watch.

Domaine Anne Gros

Domaine Anne Gros is intimately tied with the elegant and poised character of wines from Vosne-Romanée
producing wines that are harmonious, supple
While each cru faithfully reflects its terroir, it is terroir as translated through Gros’ expert touch, offering
richer aromatics, rounder curves, silkier tannins. The combination is irresistible, so much so that Gros’
very limited production is snapped up by global collectors faster and faster each vintage.
Anne Gros simply is one of the top winemakers in Burgundy today, which explains why her wines have
inspired such a cult-like following. Importantly for us, Gros personifies the sort of winemaker with whom
we have always sought to work: an artisan with a clear vision of her terroir and talents, and the grace to
be humble despite the weight of Burgundian tradition and family history.
Anne Gros took over her father’s winery (Domaine François Gros) in the late 1980s. Yet there have been
Gros family members in Vosne since the 1830s; land holdings have split among family members for
generations. Today, there are four separate wineries in Vosne owned by the extended Gros family,
including Domaine Anne Gros: Gros Frere et Soeur, Anne-Francoise Gros and Michel Gros, all of whom are
Anne’s cousins.

Domaine Robert Groffier

The Groffier family are among the best wine makers in the Côte de Nuits. Originally founded by Robert
Groffier’s father, Jules in the 1950s, the Domaine is now run by Robert’s grandson, Nicolas.
The Domaine consists of almost 8 ha of fine vineyards, including 1 ha of Bonnes Mares, almost 0.5 ha of
Chambertin Clos de Bèze and a full 1 ha of Chambolle-Musigny Les Amoureuses (the biggest single owner
of this vineyard).
The wine making technique is flexible and the proportion of stems to be retained is decided annually.
nowadays, up to 20% of stems are retained, compared to 50% 20 years ago. The destemmed grapes are
transferred to stainless steel vats without crushing and cooled to 10-12 degrees so the natural yeast
fermentation starts 4-5 days later – to allow further extraction of colour from the skins. Frequent short
pigeages are done, and the temperature is allowed to rise up to 35 degrees – which retains even more
colour to the liquid. After 17-20 days maceration, the temperature descends to 20-22 degrees and after
pressing age in oak, the percentage of new one varies per cuvée and vintage – from none to the Bourgogne
to up to 100% for the grand crus. The wines are only racked once, usually only a year after the vintage.
The wines return to vat as the new vintage is put into barrel, so only one vintage is in barrel at any time.
The wines are bottled without fining or filtration.

Domaine Hubert Lignier

Domaine Hubert Lignier is a wonderful traditional property in the village of Morey St Denis, surrounded by
the “Tres Girard” vineyard. Laurent produces a vast range with a focus on balance and purity of fruit whilst
retaining the character from each individual terroir.
Hubert Lignier is the reluctant star of Morey-Saint-Denis. He is a quiet, conscientious vigneron who until
recently continued to sell half his crop to the négociants, despite the clamour at his door following Robert
Parker's description of him as "a brilliant winemaker". Even now, he allocates 20% of his valuable stock to
local négoces, because he believes in the traditional trading customs that bond and sustain an agricultural
community. He is also a traditionalist when it comes to vinification methods. Only indigenous yeasts are
used, with musts warmed if fermentations are not beginning naturally; vats are cement rather than
stainless steel for a gentler heat exchange, and pigeage is the old-fashioned way - 5 men in a vat!
Lignier practices 100% destemming, followed by vinification in traditional lined cement vats, using only
indigenous yeasts. Temperatures are allowed to climb to 33 or 34°C during fermentation, and pigeage is
by foot to ensure good extraction of colour and tannin. After 2 weeks on the skins, the young wines are
drawn off and some press wine blended back for structure. Malolactic conversion takes place either in cask
or sealed vat.
The wines are aged for 18 to 24 months in barrel - 50% new oak for the best 1ers and Grands Crus, 25-33%
for the village wines. Lignier neither fines nor filters his wines before bottling.
New oak is used where appropriate, but is never allowed to dominate the palate profile. Bottling is without
either fining or filtration. The resultant wines are rich and age worthy, and even in 'poor' vintages they
never fail to impress. This is a consistent source of some of the finest red Burgundy, not only in Morey-
Saint-Denis, but in the entire Côte de Nuits.

Domaine Cecile Tremblay

Cecile’s first vintage was 2003, having received plots from the two branches of her family (Jayer &
Mugnier). The Domaine now stretches from Gevrey Chambertin to Nuits St Georges and covers 11 different
appellations from Bourgogne Cote d’Or to Grand Cru. Stylistically her wines are aromatic, elegant and very
concentrated with a beautiful richness that is true to each terroir.
Cecile Tremblay is working biodynamic since 2016 and has since received organic certification. Depending
on the vintage, Cecile uses high percentages of whole bunch in the fermentation and is minimalist in her
interference. She does not perform much pigeage or remontage and leaves the wines on the lees during
the elevage. The wines are not fined or filtered.
The demand for these wines worldwide far outweighs the supply.

Domaine Des Lambrays

Located in Morey-Saint-Denis on the Route des Grands Crus, Clos des Lambrays is one of Burgundy’s oldest
and most prestigious vineyards. There are references to the estate in the records of the Abbaye de Citeaux
dating back to 1365.
One of five Grands Crus in Morey St Denis, Clos des Lambrays wines have a complex personality, at the
same time full-bodied, unpolished and supple. Aptly described as “an iron fist in a velvet glove”, this
exceptionally elegant Grand Cru is characterized by notes of black fruit. It is listed among the world’s 100
best wines in numerous reference sources.
Situated on a narrow strip of land where vines have grown since the time of Charlemagne and the Dukes
of Burgundy, Clos des Lambrays covers nearly 9 hectares. The clay and limestone soil of the Côte de Nuits
produces a pinot noir wine considered among the best in the world.
The Domaine produces a wine crafted in the purest tradition of Burgundy winemaking. With careful sorting
of grapes during the harvest and rigorous selection of cuvées, Clos des Lambrays applies its savoir-faire
with a single-minded commitment to excellence.

Domaine Dugat-Py

Domaine Dugat-Py in the village of Gevrey-Chambertin produces some of the most interesting wines in
Burgundy, Dugat-Pys’ wines have long been lauded by Allen Meadows of Burghound.

The Dugat family have been winegrowers in the Gevrey-Chambertin appellation since the beginning of the
17th century. Bernard Dugat and his son, Loic are the 12th and 13th generation to exploit the unique
knowledge of wine-making and working in the vines, which has been acquired over four centuries. The
family prides themselves on the high proportion of old vines across all their range, 15 hectares with 20
wines.

The foundation of the family’s approach to winemaking are simple. Producing wines as natural as possible
the very old vines are farmed organically and biodynamically since 2003. Yields are correspondingly low;
and in the cellar these raw materials are vinified simply, with no pre-fermentation maceration and
generally only partial destemming, 50% whole bunch for village and up to 90% for Grand Cru, depending
on the vintage and climate. Elevage is in all new barrels for the Premier and Grand Crus, 50% new oak for
village wines. The tiny cuvée of Chambertin matures in a small custom-made barrel each year, which varies
in size according to the vintage’s production. Due to his gentle winemaking techniques no wine is above
13.5% alcohol.
Loic is in firm control of this amazing property.

Domaine Bruno Clair
Bruno Clair founded the domaine which bears his name in 1979. The domaine at that time included plots
in Marsannay and Fixin, the Dominode vineyard in Savigny-les-Beaune, and a large plot lying fallow in
Morey-St.-Denis - "En la Rue de Vergy. He is the son of Bernard Clair (1920-2005) and the grandson of
Joseph Clair (1889-1971), originator of the famous Domaine Clair-Daü which was founded in Marsannay in
1919.
Following Joseph's death, family disagreements led to the dismantling of the Domain Clair-Daü in 1985. In
1986, Bruno was entrusted with the vineyards of his parents, brothers and sisters which included those of
Clos de Bèze, Cazetiers, Clos St-Jacques, Vosne-Romanée, Clos du Fonteny and Chambolle-Musigny.
More vineyards were purchased by the estate in 1993, including Corton-Charlemagne, Pernand-Vergelesses
and Aloxe-Corton, and in 1996 Gevrey-Chambertin Petite Chapelle was added to bring the size of the
domaine to more than 23 hectares (56.8326 acres). Bruno Clair cultivates, harvests and bottles his wines
with the assistance of André Geoffroy and Philippe Brun. Domaine Bruno Clair is a member of the
Association des Domaines Familiaux de Tradition. Bruno Clair maintains a rigorous selection of the best
vines of pinot noir and chardonnay, identifying those that produce small grapes with perfect ripeness. This
selection also concentrates on finding vines that have a good resistance to diseases and are free from
viruses. This work requires much patience and is absolutely essential to obtain a healthy vineyard of great
qualit. With regard to viticulture, Domaine Bruno Clair believes in the total absence of chemical fertilizers,
the exclusive use of compost, and in ploughings and harrowing the soil throughout the year. The grapes
are hand-harvested, and the selection of the best grapes is carried out primarily in the vineyards.
