PnP. Appealing nose. Dark cherry, cinnamon, slate. Medium bodied but rich, with good intensity and drive. Fine, tea-like tannins support the long finish. Could easily hold for further development.

A gorgeous nose of pure cherry, violets and black earth. Highly-perfumed fruits lap around the gums. It is velvety with good underlying chew. It has excellent density and balance and really fans out on the finish.

One of these bottles you are really surprised while swallowing, o. k., a well known estate, but a lesser burgundy area with an unknown 1er Cru? Great smell of rich black fruit, some meat and slightly herbs, very good grip right from the start, the old vines deliver here, real deepness of black fruit, meaty, lovely fresh acid in the background, elegant persistent flow over the mid palate, very long convincing aftertaste, really attractive now, but will benefit from some 3-5+ years more in your cellar, recommended! **(*-****), around 91, 92(+)

Again I am really euphoric while tasting, have tasted this bottling once before, but only a small glass, this is the first full bottle, and I am enamored, obviously a great wine, grapevines more or less about one hundred years old as I have read, great black fruit smell, elegant and with great tension, powerful and well structured that young, long and very convincing, blind would have guessed about a premier Cru from cote de Nuit at least, so here we are, a great stunning Bourgogne from lesser soil! great long+ aftertaste, playful now but will improve over the next years, **(*-****), 91,92(+) potential
A November Bourgogne Evening at Hamburg (Nobbi Müller Burgunder& Süßweine, Hamburg): From "lesser" soil for "label consumers", but WOW, what a strong fine tannic bite, the old plants, first from 1902 are shining through, persistent dark fruit, very young but really promising appearance, tight and deep, tannic precision, very good +, 90,91(+) potential

2018 Domaine Bruno Clair Barrel Tasting with Philippe Brun (Marsannay): Vines 115 years old. Only two barrels of this cuvée made. Blackberry, dark cherry, wet earth and underbrush, wet slate and river boulder on the bouquet. On palate, energetic and focussed. Dark fruited, dry leaf flavours, reflecting the bouquet. Earthy and rocky mineral. Real persistence and serious matière. A good wine to cellar for 5-7+ years.

Bruno Clair Cellar Visit and Tasting (Day 3, Visit 3) (Marsannay): Barrel tasting at the domaine. Mostly black fruit here with plenty of freshly roasted meat. Dense and nicely concentrated with elegant tannins. Old vine concentration really coming through here. 90-92 point potential.

Black & red fruits, ripe cherries & smoky nose, grainy tannins, good density, not bad but didn’t make an impression

Had at restaurent boulevard 21 in Beaune. Opened up after a 15 minutes in a decanter. Balanced dark fruit with nice long finish

100 years old vines planted in 1902... Powerful nose of red fruit... ripe tannin, huge amount of red fruit that balances the tannin (40% de rafles)
