Bruno Clair wine requires a lot of aeration. This only really expressed itself after 4 hours of aeration, upon opening the wine was completely sluggish.
The nose is on a bouquet of cherry and redcurrant with a touch of smoke.
Beautiful mouthfeel with a textured juice, it is grainy and silky at the same time. We can distinguish the characteristic richness of the vintage but in a very fine way, everything is integrated into a profile without excess, all in elegance. Beautiful refined structure, it lacks a little intensity in the second part of the palate but the finish is beautiful, stony and floral at the same time, with a finely saline finish.
Very beautiful Burgundy, which must age a little more in my opinion to reach its peak in a few years.

Popped and poured. It needed more air time. Only after about three hours did it begin to express more than muted tertiary notes. My mistake. Lesson learned: I'll give this more time, and be more patient with it, next go-around. No flaws, no concerns, except my impatience.

Upon opening, a stink on the nose blew off quite quickly. On the open, the gentle tannins provided some nice structure but they mellowed quite quickly and this almost became a new world Pinot. It seems ready to drink and don’t think it will get better w age. Doesn’t need a long decant - decant shortly before drinking to let funk blow off and then enjoy!

(BYO Blind tasting) Medium-fullish nose. Nuanced and elegant. Red and black fruit. Lovely perfume. Hints of spices. Raspberry and black cherry. Very pure and clean. Medium-fullish palate with some development. Very perfumed and almost flowery. Complex and elegant. Soft and intense. Red and black fruit. Very complete and with an Gevrey iron minerality slowly emerging. The rich and generous vintage makes this among the best Bruno Clair we have tasted. They can tend to the funky side sometimes. Not this one, verging on Grand Cru level. Drink or hold.
