Histoire du domaine
Bruno Clair founded the estate that bears his name in 1979, in Marsannay-la-Côte. His family’s history in wine-making, however, dates back to the early 19th century. In 1919, his grandfather Joseph Clair married Marguerite Daü, who was then running a vineyard in Marsannay-la-Côte. Between 1930 and 1960, Joseph Clair acquired plots in Gevrey-Chambertin, Morey-Saint-Denis and Chambolle-Musigny. In 1954, he founded the Clair-Daü estate with his family; following his death in 1971, his son Bernard took over the management. The break-up of the Clair-Daü estate in 1985 led Bernard and Geneviève Clair to entrust their vineyards to Bruno, who then set up a family-run wine-growing business with his brothers and sisters. From 1986 onwards, Domaine Bruno Clair managed 17 hectares, before gradually expanding into Chambolle-Musigny, Aloxe-Corton, Pernand-Vergelesses, Gevrey-Chambertin, Bonnes-Mares and, once again, Chambolle-Musigny. Isabelle Clair joined the estate in 2005 to take on administrative and commercial responsibilities. Their son Édouard joined in 2010, followed by Margaux and Arthur in 2018; Édouard is in charge of the vineyards and winemaking, whilst Arthur is in charge of the cellar and assists with winemaking. The estate now cultivates 27 hectares across eight villages.
