The estate and the wine |
|
|
A winemaking family rooted in Burgundy since the 13th century, the Clerget family has carried this heritage forward with dedication and passion. For nearly a decade, Domaine Yvon Clerget has been led by Thibaud, the brilliant son of the family, who has done exemplary work here.
With intelligence and patience, this exceptional winemaker crafts deeply expressive, beautifully complete wines across 6 hectares, all perfectly reflecting their terroirs—Meursault, Vougeot, Corton, Pommard, and of course the beating heart of the estate: Volnay. |
|
| | |
|
With just under one hectare of very rocky soils and a limited use of new oak, the Pommard 1er Cru Les Rugiens Red 2020 stands out with its powerful character, featuring notes of incense, smoke, and black fruits. This is a deep wine, of great stature, highly textured, with a concentrated core of fruit and velvety tannins. It needs time because after a few years, it reveals itself in great refinement, being elegant and approachable. |
|
| | |
|
Hand-harvested from a 0.85-hectare parcel of 45-year-old vines, grown in very rocky soil. Aged for 12 to 18 months in French oak barrels, of which 20 to 30% are new. |
