Winemaker:Domaine Yvon Clerget
Petits Poisots lies between Volnay and Pommard, below First Growth Les Brouillards. Fine Pinots giving small berries were planted here 6, 8 and 12 years ago, now giving excellent results. 25% whole bunches were retained for fermentation, and these have brought fragrant aromas and spicy length. No new barrels were used for ageing, and the wine was bottled in February 2024. Mid-palate shows elegant, Pinot definition, with delicate, fresh aftertaste (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.
