Winemaker:Domaine Yvon Clerget
30% of whole bunches were included in the fermentation vat, Thibaud explaining: “When deciding whether to de-stem, I retain whole bunches which have small berries, and particularly those grapes from clay-rich, not limestone-rich, soils.” The wine has been ageing in 20% new barrels. This shows lively, purple-ruby colour, with elegant, lusciously ripe aromas. Palate is medium-full, with Volnay’s characteristic finesse and elegant, fine length (for drinking 2025-2030+).

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.
