“Behind a deep ruby color with violet hues, one discovers aromas of strawberry and flowers, accompanied by lovely vanilla-like oak notes. Our panelists love its supple, fruity attack, its concentrated body, and its lingering finish. Close to five-star status, this 2009 will certainly reach that level once its tannins have fully softened. A braised beef shank with thyme would pair well with this bottle after two years of cellaring.” (Le Guide Hachette des Vins)

About the wine:
This extensive family estate (21.85 hectares) is based in the Côte de Nuits. Philippe Brun has been overseeing winemaking since 1986. The La Dominode vineyard, part of the Les Jarrons 1er Cru, is a standout wine from the estate. Behind a deep ruby color with violet hues, one discovers aromas of strawberry and flowers paired with lovely vanilla-like oak. Our panelists appreciate its supple, fruity attack, its concentrated body, and its lingering finish. Close to a five-star rating, this 2009 vintage will certainly reach that level once its tannins have fully softened. A braised beef shank with thyme would pair well with this bottle after it has spent two years in the cellar.

Wine rated (2012 guide) 92/100 (An outstanding wine)
Estate rated "Recommended" (Wine producer recommended by Robert Parker - The Wine Advocate)
About the wine:
Bruno Clair's 2009 Savigny-les-Beaune La Dominode is fabulous in this vintage. The warmth of the year has produced a magnificently full-bodied wine. This 2009 is ripe, exotic, and exuberant. I particularly admire the juxtaposition of richness and lingering minerality. Expected to reach its peak 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 exceptional estates, often boasting fabulous terroirs, are must-haves that, thanks to their consistency and the excellence of their wines, deserve a place in the cellars of discerning wine lovers)
About the wine:
The Savigny Premier Cru La Dominode is characterized by its aging but has a beautifully silky texture.
About the estate:
"Bruno Clair produces classic Burgundies that are young, lively, and crisp; they often only reveal their full potential after a few years of aging. They are immediately recognizable for their refined texture and beautiful length. The estate has showcased the terroirs of Marsannay as well as a fine selection of Gevrey-Chambertins, 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 equally remarkable. The estate’s consistency is worthy of praise.”
