Domain Bruno Clair Savigny Les Jarrons 2020 Bottle (75cl)
The 2020 Domaine Bruno Clair Savigny-lès-Beaune 1er Cru Les Jarrons is a red Burgundy wine made 100% from Pinot Noir. This cuvée comes from a 0.53-hectare parcel planted in 1983 and 1987. The estate practices vinification using 20% to 30% whole clusters and a 10- to 15-day maceration in wooden vats, followed by 18 to 20 months of aging in oak barrels, of which approximately 30% are new. The profile combines red fruits, structure, and silky tannins.

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.
Les Jarrons
Les Jarrons is an officially classified Premier Cru climat of the Savigny-lès-Beaune appellation, located in the commune of the same name. The product specification states that this designation corresponds to a portion of the cadastral lieu-dit Les Jarrons, another part of which may fall under the La Dominode climat. A data sheet from Domaine Bruno Clair describes its own vines in this climat as having an east to northeast exposure, at an altitude of approximately 250 meters, and on clay-limestone soil; however, this plot-specific data is not generalized here to the entire climat.
