varoilles and bruno clair – a bit of pre-christmas training
Back in Switzerland and given that I’m not tasting 20 wines (plus!) per day, I really do have a thirst for opening things – surely it’s good training for Christmas too 😉 2002 Domaine des Varoilles, Gevrey-Chambertin 1er Clos des Varoilles… Read More
Bruno Clair – 2012s
Tasted in Marsannay with Philippe Brun, 21 Feb. 2014. Philippe on 2012: Very happy with the vintage; there’s nice concentration – small grapes so a smaller vintage. The quality is like 2010 but with a 50% reduction of volume. Philippe on 2012 prices: It will depend on the cru, but… Read More

1998 Bruno Clair, Marsannay Les Longeroies Medium colour. The aromas plumb a great depth of clean dark fruit and a little forest floor – occasional halves of these are showing VA, but not this full bottle. A narrow… Read More
bruno clair 1998 marsannay fat heads!
For the 6 or 7 years I’ve been drinking this, it’s been super – this half bottle is not quite to the previous standard – on a down-slope? I suppose I will have to re-check – also the Longerois too. 1998 Bruno Clair, Marsannay Les Grasses Têtes… Read More
