The estate and the wine
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.
Wine Adorned with all the care of Thibaud Clerget, who has been crafting this ultra-precise range of négociant wines since 2019, the 2021 Puligny-Montrachet 1er Cru Les Perrières does not betray its origins. It is a high-bred Chardonnay, a model of mineral and smooth Puligny, where the wood envelops justly and supports the whole. It's a pleasure to taste, and it promises a good aging potential of 6 to 7 years more.
Vinification Hand-harvested. This cuvée is made from grapes purchased from the 1er cru Les Perrières vineyard, located to the south of the village's grands crus and adjacent to Les Charmes. Aged 11 months in new oak barrels, then 4 months in vats after blending.
