Winemaker:Domaine Yvon Clerget
This is a Pommard Rugiens of elegance, dense fruitiness and superb length. The grapes came equally from the lower and higher section of the vineyard. Power and richness come from the lower section, balance from the higher. 20% whole bunches went into the fermenting vat, bringing spiciness and freshness. This is Pommard from a Volnay-influenced grower. Colour is of medium depth, aromas are ripe, fresh and complex. Palate is dense and complete, with salty rather than tannic aftertaste, very vivacious, perfectly poised and long (for drinking 2026-2040+).

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.
