Bruno Clair Savigny les Beaune La Dominode 1er Cru 2019 (750ML)

95 DE / 92-94 JM

The Clair holding in La Dominode is one of the jewels of the estate. The 1.71ha was planted in 1902 and were purchased by Bruno’s grandfather. The parcel lies on east and north-facing slopes, an ideal exposition in warm years such as 2019, and this is a wine of great concentration, with profuse aromas of ripe blackberry and cassis that continue to open up on the palate, as it reveals impressive tannic charge and exquisite length.--Charles Curtis MW, Decanter

Rich, imperial purple, with a massively more concentrated nose than Les Jarrons, this shows great class, with 40% whole bunch which adds its own inflection. The overall impression is of a huge, suave sensual mouthful, with just the right tannins behind. This is spectacular. Tasted: November 2020.--Jasper Morris, Inside Burgundy
