Winemaker:Domaine Yvon Clerget
Here is the third harvest when Thibaud has been able to acquire grapes from this vineyard. We went to find him picking the grapes during his first one. The vines lie high on the Corton hillside, facing due east to catch the first rays of the sun as it rises. 50% whole clusters went into the making of this 2021, which shows ebullient Pinot Noir aromas on the nose. It is lusciously attractive, even when youthful, and shows beautiful balance (for drinking 2025-2040+).

Winemaker
Domaine Yvon Clerget
2015 was the first vintage of the highly talented young winemaker Thibaud Clerget, who completed his studies at Beaune’s Lycée Viticole in 2012. He then did vintages with Pinot Noir specialists in New Zealand and Oregon, and on the Côte de Nuits. His family has owned vineyards and made wine in and around Pommard and Volnay since AD 1268, Thibaud being the 28th generation. If you have rarely encountered bottles from the Domaine, which carries his father’s name, this is because since 2010 Yvon Clerget had been selling his grapes, rather than making and bottling his wines. For the 2015 vintage, Thibaud took on the family responsibilities, and all grapes were vinified at the Domaine. We were the first to discover and ship his wines to any export market. Showing his wines at our London Burgundy tasting in January 2017 marked the international launch of this newly thrilling Domaine. Today, his wines are available in 28 countries.
