Winemaker:Domaine Yvon Clerget
This comes from two plots – Ez Echards and Petit Gamets – which lie downhill from Les Champans. The wine was 100% de-stemmed, and saw no new oak, having aged in barrels which were 4-5 years old. “The colours came out very fast in 2018,” says Thibaud, and this is deep. Nose is rich with red fruit aromas, palate shows impressive framework and fresh structure. This is a densely fruity wine, with briskness on the finish (for drinking 2024-2026+).

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.
