Though Bruno points out it wasn’t always the case, this is now a definite favorite of Bruno’s and Philippe’s. The wine used to be a little austere, but like most people in Burgundy, Clair, of late, is extracting much less. Today, there is a delicacy of fruit, the result of shallow and non-iron-rich clays. It still has a mineral spine, but it is very much in balance. It is a very lifted expression of Pinot, especially in the context of Gevrey-Chambertin, which is generally known for power.
