Profile
ジュヴレ・シャンベルタンを象徴する名門、ドメーヌ・ブリュノ・クレールは、コート・ド・ニュイからボーヌまで広範なテロワールを網羅する稀有な造り手です。その白眉は、ジュヴレ村の至宝シャンベルタン・クロ・ド・ベーズや、シャンボールとモレにまたがるボンヌ・マール、そしてコルトンの丘に位置するコルトン・シャルルマーニュという3つの特級畑にあります。さらに、クロ・サン・ジャックやレ・カズティエといった、特級に匹敵する評価を得る6つの一級畑を擁し、計9つの主要な区画から多角的な表現を追求しています。サヴィニー・レ・ボーヌの一級畑ラ・ドミノードなど、各村の個性を鮮明に描き出すそのラインナップは、ブルゴーニュの多様な地質を映し出す鏡のような存在といえます。

Grand Cru
3History
Domaine Bruno Clair is based in Marsannay — though its vineyards reach deep into Gevrey-Chambertin, Chambolle-Musigny, and even the Côte de Beaune. Bruno Clair himself is a scion of the Clair-Daü family, a dynasty that once controlled enormous holdings across the Côte d'Or before a famous dissolution in 1985. From those fragments Bruno assembled a domaine that spans three Grands Crus and parcels scattered across five communes — a range unusual in its breadth.
Winemaking Approach
Nine parcels in total, including three Grands Crus and six Premiers Crus, make this a mid-sized but genuinely diverse estate. The house style emphasises precision over power: fermentations are long, and the wines typically show restraint in their youth before opening over a decade or more. Corton-Charlemagne (0.34 ha) is the lone white Grand Cru — a small but consequential presence.

Show year-by-year notesHide
| Yr | Score | Window | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| 2024 | ★★★★★ | Drink early | Frost, hail and mildew made Pinot Noir extremely challenging. Yields fell to a quarter in worst cases and quality is below average. |
| 2023 | ★★★★★ | Drink early | A large crop with seductive fruit but uneven density and consistency. Approachable, charming wines for early-to-medium drinking. |
| 2022 | ★★★★★ | Hold | Despite the heat, perfumed and alluring reds with refined tannins seamlessly bonded to fruit. A modern Burgundy benchmark. |
| 2021 | ★★★★★ | Hold | A return to cool-climate classicism. Village wines are juicy and crunchy; Grands Crus show poise, freshness and elegance. |
| 2020 | ★★★★★ | Hold | Concentrated and dramatic with surprising freshness from early picking. A great vintage with strong long-term aging potential. |
