"Behind a deep ruby color verging on violet, we discover aromas of strawberry and flowers accompanied by a lovely vanilla woodiness. Our judges love its supple, fruity attack, its concentrated body and its presence on the finish. Close to a star rating, this 2009 will certainly reach that level once its tannins have finished polishing. A braised beef shank with thyme would be a perfect accompaniment to this bottle after two years in the cellar." (Le Guide Hachette des Vins)

About wine:
This vast family estate (21.85 hectares) is based in the Côte de Nuits. Philippe Brun has been in charge of winemaking since 1986. The La Dominode vineyard, part of the Les Jarrons premier cru, is one of the estate's most reliable assets. Behind a deep ruby color verging on violet, we discover aromas of strawberry and flowers accompanied by a lovely vanilla woodiness. Our judges love its supple and fruity attack, its concentrated body and its presence on the finish. Close to a star rating, this 2009 will certainly reach that level once its tannins have finished polishing. A braised beef shank with thyme would be a perfect accompaniment to this bottle after two years in the cellar.

About wine:
Bruno Clair's Savigny-les-Beaune La Dominode 2009 is fabulous in this vintage. The warmth of the year has produced a beautifully full-bodied wine. This 2009 is ripe, exotic, and exuberant. I particularly admire the juxtaposition of fleshiness and persistent minerality. Expected maturity between 2012 and 2024.
About the estate:
RVF - La Revue du Vin de France / Guide des Meilleurs Vins de France
Wine rated (2012 guide) 16/20 (Very good wine)
Rated estate (2014 guide) 2 stars (These very large estates, often blessed with fabulous terroirs, are must-haves which, thanks to their consistency and the excellence of their production, deserve a place in the cellars of discerning wine lovers).
About wine:
Savigny Premier Cru La Dominode is characterized by its aging but has a very beautiful silky texture.
About the estate:
Bruno Clair crafts classic Burgundy wines that are young, lively, and sharp; they often only reveal their full potential after a few years of aging. They are immediately recognizable by their refined texture and beautiful persistence. The estate has showcased the terroirs of Marsannay as well as a fine series of Gevrey-Chambertin wines, including the magnificent Clos Saint-Jacques and the estate's flagship wine: the elegant and refined Chambertin Clos de Bèze. The whites, which are less well known, are just as remarkable. The estate is praised for its consistency."
