drink-nowDomaine Bruno Clavelier Mixed Case of Twelve

Each case contain six bottles each of:

2018 Bourgogne Passetoutgrain, Vieilles Vignes, Domaine Bruno Clavelier, Burgundy
In Bottle. Two plots, one all pinot from 1926, the other more pinot than Gamay 70 year old. 65% stems in the first plot, 100% in the second, with gamay finally being no more than 10% of the total. Brilliantly perfumed, with the gamay still making its presence felt on the nose in angular fashion, with pink raspberry fruit on the palate and significant length. An excellent example. Tasted: November 2019. 87/100 4* Star Jasper Morris, Inside Burgundy

From 80 to 90 year old vines with <10% gamay. There is plenty of freshly turned, and pungent, earth character on the somewhat gamy aromas of wild red and dark berries. The earth continues onto the solidly voluminous and rich middle weight flavors that possess very good punch while exhibiting excellent depth and persistence for the genre on the rustic finale. What is all the more impressive is that this wine should have no trouble aging well too if that's your preference. In sum, this is a very good PTG. 87/100 Outstanding Top value Allen Meadows, Burghound

2019/2020 Bourgogne Aligoté, Vieilles Vignes, Domaine Bruno Clavelier, Burgundy
From 95+ year old vines where most of the fruit is from Aligoté Doré and is vinified and raised in stainless steel.

Bright and ripe aromas include those of apple, citrus and various spice elements. The delicious and attractively vibrant middle weight flavors conclude in an impressively complex, lingering and highly refreshing finish. This is an unusually good example of the genre and enthusiastically recommended. 88/100 Outstanding Top value Allen Meadows, Burghound

In bottle. This comes from Aligoté d’oré vines planted in 1926 and yielding just 25 hl/ha. Given that, this is not going to be a nervy Aligoté to be sure. But it is a beautiful wine with its pretty pale colour, and graciously perfumed bouquet. There is excellent acidity at the back and a concentration of fresh fruit for the finish. Tasted: November 2019. 87/100 4* Star Jasper Morris, Inside Burgundy
