“Blackcurrant, black cherry, violet, and resinous notes on the nose of this 2008 Gevrey-Chambertin Clos du Fonteny, followed by a firm and formidable presence on the palate, with fine tannins. The overall impression is enlivened by the freshness of berries, with depth and energy. It’s worth keeping an eye on for at least a decade, as it will reveal many nuances.” (Wine Advocate Apr. 2012 – Robert Parker)

Wine rated (2012 guide) 18/20 (Outstanding)

About the wine:

The nose offers a perfect blend of black berries and spices, with hints of smoky notes already apparent. On the palate, it is lively, powerful, and concentrated. The tannins are well-integrated. The finish is long, crisp, fruity, and generous.

Estate rated "Recommended" (Wine producer recommended by Robert Parker—The Wine Advocate)

About the wine:

Blackcurrant, black cherry, violet, and resinous notes on the nose of this 2008 Gevrey-Chambertin Clos du Fonteny, followed by a firm and impressive presence on the palate, with fine tannins. The overall impression is enlivened by the freshness of berries, with depth and energy. It’s worth cellaring for at least a decade, as it will reveal many nuances.

RVF - La Revue du Vin de France / Guide des Meilleurs Vins de France

Wine rated (2011 guide) 16/20 (Very good wine)

Rated estate (2014 guide): 2*Stars (These exceptional estates, often blessed with fabulous terroirs, are must-haves that, thanks to the consistency and excellence of their wines, deserve a place in the cellars of discerning wine lovers)

About the wine:

The Gevrey Clos du Fonteny is a austere yet magnificent wine, with a crisp and refined character.

About the estate:

“Bruno Clair produces classic Burgundies that are young, lively, and crisp; they are often only fully appreciated after a few years of aging. They are immediately recognizable by their refined texture and beautiful length. The estate has showcased the terroirs of Marsannay as well as a fine selection of Gevrey-Chambertin wines, including the magnificent Clos Saint-Jacques and the estate’s crowning jewel: the elegant and refined Chambertin Clos de Bèze. The whites, though less well-known, are just as remarkable. The estate’s consistency is worthy of praise.”
